Settings Reference

The Settings window resizes and maximizes like any other: drag its edges, use the maximize button in the title bar, or double-click the title bar. Worth doing on the Plugins page in particular, which puts a plugin list and that plugin's settings side by side and has real use for the width.

A search box sits in the Settings window's title bar. It matches fuzzily (the same fzf-style matching the main search window uses, with pinyin alias support), not just plain substrings, across every section — including the per-plugin entries under Plugins, Hotkeys' Plugin Actions tab, and Startup Panel's Plugin Tabs sub-tab. Each result shows a breadcrumb (e.g. "Index > Network Drives") so same-named settings under different tabs stay distinguishable. Selecting a result (click, or Up/Down to highlight and Enter) switches to the right section and tab, scrolls the exact control into view, and briefly flashes a highlight border around it.

Several sections (General, Hotkeys, Index, History, Startup Panel, Service Status) further split into their own row of sub-tabs at the top of the page. If the tab labels don't all fit — most often in English, since translated labels usually run longer than their Chinese originals — left/right arrow buttons appear at the ends of the row so the rest stay reachable by scrolling, instead of just being cut off.

The Settings window has ten sections in its left sidebar:

SectionCovers
Service StatusBackground service install, and the App/Hook/Service log viewer.
IndexLocal drives, network drives, WSL distributions (once detected), folder indexes, and exclusion rules.
GeneralStartup behavior, updates, language, search bar layout, and preview window size.
HotkeysGlobal hotkeys, per-plugin action hotkeys, and the process blacklist.
PluginsInstalled plugins and per-component enable/disable toggles.
FavoritesCustom-named shortcuts to folders, files, and URLs.
HistorySearch history and quick-window keyword history.
Startup PanelThe empty-search-box tab strip: Recent Files, Last Directory, and reopening closed plugin tabs.
AppearanceTheme picker (with a preview card per theme) and "follow system light/dark" mode. Pinned above About.
AboutVersion info and update checking.

Each page below documents every option on that section, in order, with its default value and any valid range.
