SYNOPOSIS
=========
/etc/zathurarc, ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc
/etc/zathurarc, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zathura/zathurarc
DESCRIPTION
===========
The zathurarc contains various options controlling the behavior of zathura. One
can use the ``set`` and ``map`` commands:
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.
* ``set`` [id] [value]
* ``map`` [key] [function] [argument] [mode]
The following commands can be used:
They behave the same as the ``set`` and ``map`` commands in zathura. Any line
not starting with ``set`` or ``map`` will be ignored.
set - Changing the options
--------------------------
set
---
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:
[id] and the corresponding [value] can be one of
::
set <option> <new value>
* adjust_open [bestfit|width|noadjust] - adjust mode.
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:
- bestfit: adjust to best fit
- width: adjust to width
- noadjust: don't adjust
* INT - An integer number
* FLOAT - A floating point number
* STRING - A character string
* BOOL - A boolean value (“true” for true, “false” for false)
* browser,
uri_command [string] - command to open external URIs.
The string has to include a ``%s`` which will be replaced with the URI.
In addition we advice you to check the List of options to get a more detailed
view of the options that can be changed and which values they should be set to.
* completion_bgcolor,
completion_fgcolor,
completion_g_bgcolor,
completion_g_fgcolor,
completion_hl_bgcolor,
completion_hl_fgcolor,
default_bgcolor,
default_fgcolor,
inputbar_bgcolor,
inputbar_fgcolor,
notification_e_bgcolor,
notification_e_fgcolor,
notification_w_bgcolor,
notification_w_fgcolor,
recolor_darkcolor,
recolor_lightcolor,
statusbar_bgcolor,
statusbar_fgcolor,
search_highlight,
select_text [color] -
colors settings.
The color can be given as hex triplet (#rrggbb) or any color
string understood by GTK+ (e.g. red, green, blue, black, ...).
The following example should give some deeper insight of how the set command can
be used:
* default_text [string] - text displayed in the statusbar if no file is opened.
::
set option1 5
set option2 2.0
set option3 hello
set option4 hello\ world
set option5 "hello world"
* font [string] - the used font.
Possible options are:
* height,
width [int] - default height and width of the zathura window.
page-padding
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The page padding defines the gap in pixels between each rendered page and can
not be changed during runtime.
* labels [bool] - allow label mode.
* Value-type: Integer
* Default value: 1
* list_printer_command [string] - command to list all available printers.
pages-per-row
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Defines the number of pages that are rendered next to each other in a row.
* n_completion_items [int] - number of completion items to display.
* Value-type: Integer
* Default value: 1
* offset - page offset.
recolor-dark-color
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Defines the color value that is used to represent dark colors in recoloring mode
* print_command [string] - command to print the file.
The string has to include
``%s`` four times. The first occurence of ``%s`` will be replaced with the
printer, the second with additional options given on the command line, the
third with the pages to print and the fourth with the filename.
* Value-type: String
* Default value: #FFFFFF
* recolor [bool] - invert the image.
recolor-light-color
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Defines the color value that is used to represent light colors in recoloring mode
* save_position, save_zoom_level [bool] - save current page and zoom level in
bookmarks file.
* Value-type: String
* Default value: #000000
* scroll_step [float] - scroll step.
zoom-step
^^^^^^^^^
Defines the amount of percent that is zoomed in or out on each comand.
* scroll_wrap [bool] - wrap scrolling at the end and beginning of the document.
* Value-type: Integer
* Default value: 10
* scrollbars,
show_statusbar,
show_inputbar [bool] -
show statusbar, inputbar and scrollbars.
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::
* smooth_scrolling [float] - smooth scrolling.
map [mode] <binding> <shortcut function> <argument>
* transparency [float] - transparency of rectangles.
Mode
^^^^
The *map* command expects several arguments where only the *binding* as well as
the *shortcut-function* argument is required. Since zathura uses several odes it
is possible to map bindings only for a specific mode by passing the *mode*
argument which can take one of the following values:
* zoom_max,
zoom_min,
zoom_step [float] - maximal and minimal zoom level and zoom step.
map
---
[key] can be a single character, ``<C-?>`` for ``Ctrl + ?`` like shortcuts,
where ``?`` stands for some key (e.g. ``<C-q>``). Also it can be ``<S-?>`` for
uppercase shortcuts or one of
``<BackSpace>, <CapsLock>, <Down>, <Esc>, <F[1-12]>, <Left>, <PageDown>,
<PageUp>, <Return>, <Right>, <Space>, <Super>, <Tab>, <Up>``.
[function] and the corresponding [argument] can be one of
* abort - clear command line and buffer.
* adjust_window
* change_buffer [delete_last]: change buffer.
- delete_last: delete last character
* change_mode [mode] - change mode.
For the possible modes see the list of modes below.
* focus_inputbar - focus the inputbar.
* follow - follow a URI.
* navigate [next|previous|left|right] - navigate the document.
* navigate_index [up|down|expand|collapse|select] - nagivate the index.
* quit - quit zathura.
* recolor - toogle recolor setting.
* reload - reload the file.
* rotate - rotate by 90 degrees clockwise.
* scroll [up|down|half_up|half_down|full_up|full_down|left|right] - scroll.
* search [string] - search for the specified string.
* switch_goto_mode - toogle goto mode.
* toggle_fullscreen - toogle fullscreen mode.
* toggle_index - toogle index mode.
* toggle_inputbar - toogle inputbar display setting.
* toogle_statusbar - toogle statusbar display setting.
* zoom [in|out|float] - zoom in, out or to a specific zooming level.
[mode] can be one of
* all
* fullscreen
* index
* normal
* insert
* normal (default)
* visual
* insert
* index
If [mode] is omitted, all will be used.
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 *A7row 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 *Adjust page width*
change_mode *Change current mode*
focus_inputbar *Focus inputbar*
follow *Follow a link*
goto *Go to a certain page*
index_navigate *Navigate through the index*
naviate *Navigate to the next/previous page*
quit *Quit zathura*
recolor *Recolor the pages*
reload *Reload the document*
rotate *Rotate the page*
scroll *Scroll*
search *Search next/previous item*
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
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>
