#Configuration

cmux lit la configuration depuis les fichiers de configuration Ghostty, vous offrant des options familières si vous venez de Ghostty.

#Emplacements des fichiers de configuration

cmux cherche la configuration dans ces emplacements (dans l'ordre) :

~/.config/ghostty/config
~/Library/Application Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config

Créez le fichier de configuration s'il n'existe pas :

mkdir -p ~/.config/ghostty
touch ~/.config/ghostty/config

#Exemple de configuration

~/.config/ghostty/config

font-family = SF Mono
font-size = 13
sidebar-font-size = 14
surface-tab-bar-font-size = 11
theme = One Dark
scrollback-limit = 50000000
split-divider-color = #3e4451
working-directory = ~/code

#cmux.json

cmux keeps app-owned settings, shortcuts, actions, custom commands, and workspace layouts in ~/.config/cmux/cmux.json. Terminal rendering still lives in Ghostty config. On launch, if the file is missing, cmux writes a commented template there.

Open cmux Settings, then use the cmux.json section to open the canonical file in your preferred text editor.

~/.config/cmux/cmux.json
.cmux/cmux.json in a project for project-scoped actions and workspace commands

Precedence: global ~/.config/cmux/cmux.json settings override values saved in the Settings window. Legacy ~/.config/cmux/settings.json and Application Support settings files are read only as fallback for missing settings keys. Project-local .cmux/cmux.json can override actions, commands, UI action wiring, and notification hooks, but not global app preferences.

Reload: edit the file, then use Cmd+Shift+, or cmux reload-config to re-read it without restarting the app.

Migrations: keep schemaVersion at 1 for now. Future cmux versions will use that field for upgrades. If cmux sees a newer schema version, it logs a warning and parses known keys only.

The file accepts JSON with comments and trailing commas. The canonical schema is published at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/main/web/data/cmux.schema.json and the source lives at https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/blob/main/web/data/cmux.schema.json.

Prédicats de contexte facultatifs par action (clauses `when` de style VS Code), indexés par identifiant d'action cmux. Chaque valeur est une expression booléenne sur des clés de contexte, combinée avec !, &&, || et des parenthèses. Clés booléennes : sidebarFocus, browserFocus, markdownFocus, terminalFocus, commandPaletteVisible, terminalFindVisible, workspaceCanvasLayout. Les clés typées acceptent des comparaisons : la chaîne sidebarMode (files, find, sessions, feed ou dock) et les entiers paneCount et workspaceCount. Les opérateurs de comparaison sont ==, !=, =~ (expression régulière), <, <=, >, >= et `in [a, b]` ; une clé inconnue ou absente vaut false. Les littéraux booléens true et false sont également acceptés ; `key == false` équivaut à `!key`. Le raccourci de l'action ne se déclenche (et n'entre en conflit avec d'autres raccourcis) que lorsque la clause est vraie. Exemples : { "selectWorkspaceByNumber": "!sidebarFocus" } sélectionne les espaces de travail avec Ctrl+1–9 partout sauf lorsque la barre latérale droite a le focus ; { "selectSurfaceByNumber": "sidebarMode == 'find' && paneCount > 1" } limite une liaison à la barre latérale Rechercher lorsque l'espace de travail comporte plusieurs panneaux.

#`shortcuts.when`

Prédicats de contexte facultatifs par action (clauses when de style VS Code), indexés par identifiant d'action cmux. Une liaison ne se déclenche — et n'entre en conflit avec une autre liaison sur la même frappe — que lorsque sa clause est vraie. Omettez la clause pour conserver le contexte intégré de l'action. Le vocabulaire des clauses :

sidebarFocus, browserFocus, markdownFocus, terminalFocus, commandPaletteVisible, terminalFindVisible, workspaceCanvasLayout — clés booléennes. Une clé inconnue ou absente vaut false ; les littéraux true et false sont également acceptés.
sidebarMode (files, find, sessions, feed, dock), paneCount, workspaceCount — clés typées pour les comparaisons : le mode actif de la barre latérale droite (chaîne) ainsi que le nombre de panneaux et d'espaces de travail (entiers).
!, &&, ||, (…), ==, !=, =~, <, <=, >, >=, in [a, b] — opérateurs booléens, comparaisons typées, correspondance par expression régulière et appartenance à une liste. Les comparaisons lient plus fort que && et ||.

Par exemple, ceci fait que Ctrl+1–9 sélectionne les espaces de travail partout sauf lorsque la barre latérale droite a le focus (laissant Ctrl+1–5 au sélecteur de mode de la barre latérale), et limite la sélection de surface à la barre latérale Rechercher lorsque l'espace de travail comporte plusieurs panneaux :

"shortcuts": {
  "bindings": { "selectWorkspaceByNumber": "ctrl+1" },
  "when": {
    "selectWorkspaceByNumber": "!sidebarFocus",
    "selectSurfaceByNumber": "sidebarMode == 'find' && paneCount > 1"
  }
}
