Configuration

VellumFE uses TOML files for configuration, stored in ~/.vellum-fe/.

Configuration Files

FilePurpose
config.tomlGeneral settings (UI, connection, behavior)
layout.tomlWindow positions, sizes, and properties
keybinds.tomlKeyboard shortcuts
highlights.tomlText highlighting rules
colors.tomlColor palette definitions

Per-Character Configuration

When you specify --character NAME, VellumFE looks for character-specific files:

~/.vellum-fe/
├── config.toml           # Global defaults
├── layout.toml           # Global layout
├── characters/
│   └── CharName/
│       ├── config.toml   # Character overrides
│       └── layout.toml   # Character layout

Character-specific files override global settings.

Editing Configuration

You can edit files directly, or use the in-client menu:

  1. Press F1 to open the main menu
  2. Navigate to Config submenu
  3. Select the file to edit

Changes to layout are saved automatically. Other config changes require restart.

Resetting to Defaults

Delete a configuration file to reset it to defaults on next launch:

rm ~/.vellum-fe/layout.toml

Or delete the entire directory for a full reset:

rm -rf ~/.vellum-fe
