Configuration
=============
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
set

options
The customization of zathura is be managed via a configuration file
called *zathurarc*. By default zathura will evaluate the following
files:
- */etc/zathurarc*
- *$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/zathura/zathurarc* (default:
~/.config/zathura/zathurarc)
The *zathurarc* file is a simple plain text file that can be populated
with various commands to change the behaviour and the look of zathura
which we are going to describe in the following subsections. Each line
(besides empty lines and comments (which start with a prepended *#*) is
evaluated on its own, so it is not possible to write multiple commands
in one single line.

map - Mapping a shortcut
========================
It is possible to map or remap new key bindings to shortcut functions
which allows a high level of customization. The *:map* command can also
be used in the *zathurarc* file to make those changes permanent:
::
map [mode] <binding> <shortcut function> <argument>
Mode
----
The *map* command expects several arguments where only the *binding* as
well as the *shortcut-function* argument is required. Since zathura uses
several modes it is possible to map bindings only for a specific mode by
passing the *mode* argument which can take one of the following values:
- normal (default)
- visual
- insert
- fullscreen
- index
The brackets around the value are mandatory.
Single key binding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The (possible) second argument defines the used key binding that should
be mapped to the shortcut function and is structured like the following.
On the one hand it is possible to just assign single letters, numbers or
signs to it:
::
map a shortcut_function
map b shortcut_function
map c shortcut_function
map 1 shortcut_function
map 2 shortcut_function
map 3 shortcut_function
map ! shortcut_function
map ? shortcut_function
Using modifiers
---------------
It is also possible to use modifiers like the *Control* or *Alt* button
on the keyboard. It is possible to use the following modifiers:
- A - *Alt*
- C - *Control*
- S - *Shift*
Now it is required to define the *binding* with the following structure:
::
map <A-a> shortcut_function
map <C-a> shortcut_function
Special keys
------------
zathura allows it also to assign keys like the space bar or the tab
button which also have to be written in between angle brackets. The
following special keys are currently available:
+--------------+--------------------+
| Identifier | Description |
+==============+====================+
| BackSpace | *Back space* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| CapsLock | *Caps lock* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Esc | *Escape* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Down | *Arrow down* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Up | *Arrow up* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Left | *Arrow left* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Right | *Arrow right* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F1 | *F1* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F2 | *F2* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F3 | *F3* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F4 | *F4* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F5 | *F5* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F6 | *F6* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F7 | *F7* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F8 | *F8* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F9 | *F9* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F10 | *F10* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F11 | *F11* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| F12 | *F12* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| PageDown | *Page Down* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| PageUp | *Page Up* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Return | *Return* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Space | *Space* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Super | *Windows button* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Tab | *Tab* |
+--------------+--------------------+
Of course it is possible to combine those special keys with a modifier.
The usage of those keys should be explained by the following examples:
::
map <Space> shortcut_function
map <C-Space> shortcut_function
Mouse buttons
-------------
It is also possible to map mouse buttons to shortcuts by using the
following special keys:
+--------------+--------------------+
| Identifier | Description |
+==============+====================+
| Button1 | *Mouse button 1* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Button2 | *Mouse button 2* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Button3 | *Mouse button 3* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Button4 | *Mouse button 4* |
+--------------+--------------------+
| Button5 | *Mouse button 5* |
+--------------+--------------------+
They can also be combined with modifiers:
::
map <Button1> shortcut_function
map <C-Button1> shortcut_function
Buffer commands
---------------
If a mapping does not match one of the previous definition but is still
a valid mapping it will be mapped as a buffer command:
::
map abc quit
map test quit
Shortcut functions
------------------
The following shortcut functions can be mapped:
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| Function | Description |
+======================+========================================+
| abort | *Switch back to normal mode* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| adjust\_window | *Adjust page width* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+

+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| scroll | *Scroll* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| search | *Search next/previous item* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| set | *Set an option* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| toggle\_fullscreen | *Toggle fullscreen* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| toggle\_index | *Show or hide index* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| toggle\_inputbar | *Show or hide inputbar* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| toggle\_statusbar | *Show or hide statusbar* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
| zoom | *Zoom in or out* |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------+
Pass arguments
--------------
Some shortcut function require or have optional arguments which
influence the behaviour of them. Those can be passed as the last
argument:
::
map <C-i> zoom in
map <C-o> zoom out
Possible arguments are:
- bottom
- default
- down
- full-down
- full-up
- half-down
- half-up
- in
- left
- next
- out
- previous
- right
- specific
- top
- up
- best-fit
- width
- rotate-cw
- rotate-ccw
unmap - Removing a shortcut
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to mapping or remaping custom key bindings it is possible to
remove existing ones by using the *:unmap* command. The command is used
in the following way (the explanation of the parameters is described in
the *map* section of this document
::
unmap [mode] <binding>

Girara settings
---------------
Most of the options affecting the appearance of zathura are derived from
the options that are offered by our user interface library called girara
and can be found in its `documentation </projects/girara/options>`_.
Those values can also be set via the *zathurarc* file.

set - Changing options
======================
In addition to the build-in *:set* command zathura offers more options
to be changed and makes those changes permanent. To overwrite an option
you just have to add a line structured like the following
::
set <option> <new value>
The *option* field has to be replaced with the name of the option that
should be changed and the *new value* field has to be replaced with the
new value the option should get. The type of the value can be one of the
following:
- INT - An integer number
- FLOAT - A floating point number
- STRING - A character string
- BOOL - A boolean value ("true" for true, "false" for false)
In addition we advice you to check the options to get a more detailed
view of the options that can be changed and which values they should be
set to.
The following example should give some deeper insight of how the *set*
command can be used
::
set option1 5
set option2 2.0
set option3 hello
set option4 hello\ world
set option5 "hello world"
set option6 "#00BB00"
