Default values in the config.toml file

[Dupond]

Description

Hello,

I have several questions about the config.toml file, for which I haven't been able to find answers anywhere:

1. Is a default config.toml file installed somewhere along with Satty? If so, in which folder? Or should I just refer to the one on GitHub or in the README?

2. The configuration indicated in the README or in this file does not seem to be the default configuration; for example, my Satty installation (without a custom config.toml file) does not start in full screen, even though the README indicates fullscreen = true. Would it be possible to indicate the default values in the README?

3. Should a custom config.toml file copy all configuration options, or is it possible to modify only some of them, in which case all those not included in my config.toml file remain the default options?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Please see #406 (comment), we've discussed this recently.

#31 is used for documentation tracking and #200 if/when finished or merged would supply a way to determine default values for automatic inclusion in README.md.

OK, thanks for the answer. It clearly answers to my question number 2. So:

1. I was right, and there's no config.toml file installed along with Satty, right? I'm still not sure.

2. An option not provided in a custom config.toml has the default value; is that true?

OK, thanks for the answer. It clearly answers to my question number 2. So:

1. I was right, and there's no `config.toml` file installed along with Satty, right? I'm still not sure.

This depends on how you install Satty. If it's from a distribution package, there might be mechanisms or one in package documentation, but we don't know about that. make install and cargo install/cargo binstall don't at this point. This would be solveable with #200.

2. An option not provided in a custom `config.toml` has the default value; is that true?

yes.
