Settings

Fig settings are located in ~/.fig/settings.json. Most updates will be reflected immediately. Some will require restarting the app.

Note that ~/.fig/settings.json must not contain comments.

Updating Settings Using the CLI

You can read fig CLI, using the following syntax:

fig settings key

You can update setting values from the CLI as well:

fig settings key value

Note that value must be valid JSON. If a value cannot be parsed as a JSON literal, it will be interpreted as a string. As some shells interpret JSON characters, it is often helpful to wrap the value in single quotes to ensure it isn't evaluated.

List of Setting Keys

All Fig settings are included below.

Autocomplete

autocomplete.developerMode [bool]

When true, Fig will not cache completion specs and will load specs from the directory specified in autocomplete.devCompletionsFolder rather than ~/.fig/autocomplete.

autocomplete.theme [light | dark]

When light, Fig will run in light mode. When dark, Fig will run in dark mode.

autocomplete.sortMethod [recency | alphabetical]

Specify how Fig should sort suggestions
recency: [Default] Sort by most recently used.
alphabetical: Sort by alphabetical

autocomplete.devCompletionsFolder [directory]

When autocomplete.developerMode is enabled, Fig loads completion specs from the specified directory.

A flag that determines whether the selection will wrap around when pressing arrow key at bottom or top of list.

autocomplete.insertSpaceAutomatically [bool]

Pseudoterminal
