SYNOPSIS
========
/etc/zathurarc, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zathura/zathurarc
DESCRIPTION
===========
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.
COMMANDS
========
set - Changing options
----------------------
In addition to the built-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"
Especially for options with strings as values, note that escaping of special characters and white
spaces is necessary. In the above example, ``option4`` and ``option5`` are both set to ``hello
world``, but ``set option6 hello world`` would set ``option6`` only to ``hello``.
For colors, zathura supports HTML color codes and CSS3-style ``rgb(r,g,b)`` and ``rgba(r,g,b,a)``
values. If you want to use color codes for some options, make sure to quote them accordingly or
to escape the hash symbol.
::
set default-fg "#CCBBCC"
set default-fg \#CCBBCC
For ``rgba``, note that it parses the color components as integers between 0 and 255 and the alpha
component as float between 0 and 1.
include - Including another config file
---------------------------------------
This commands allows one to include other configuration files. If a relative
path is given, the path will be resolved relative to the configuration file that
is currently processed.
::
include another-config
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)
* fullscreen
* presentation
* 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 optional_argument
map b shortcut_function optional_argument
map c shortcut_function optional_argument
map 1 shortcut_function optional_argument
map 2 shortcut_function optional_argument
map 3 shortcut_function optional_argument
map ! shortcut_function optional_argument
map ? shortcut_function optional_argument
*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
If any of the modifiers should be used for a binding, 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 key
Tab Tab
Print Print key
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:
* ``abort``
Switch back to normal mode.
* ``adjust_window``
Adjust page width. Possible arguments are ``best-fit`` and ``width``.
* ``change_mode``
Change current mode. Pass the desired mode as argument.
* ``display_link``:
Display link target.
* ``exec``:
Execute an external command. ``$FILE`` expands to the current document path,
``$PAGE`` to the current page number, and ``$DBUS`` to the bus name of the
D-Bus interface.
* ``focus_inputbar``
Focus inputbar.
* ``follow``
Follow a link.
* ``goto``
Go to a certain page.
* ``jumplist``
Move forwards/backwards in the jumplist. Pass ``forward`` as argument to
move to the next entry and ``backward`` to move to the previous one.
* ``navigate``
Navigate to the next/previous page.
* ``navigate_index``
Navigate through the index.
* ``print``
Show the print dialog.
* ``quit``
Quit zathura.
* ``recolor``
Recolor pages.
* ``reload``
Reload the document.
* ``rotate``
Rotate the page. Pass ``rotate-ccw`` as argument for counterclockwise rotation
and ``rotate-cw`` for clockwise rotation.
* ``scroll``
Scroll.
* ``search``
Search next/previous item. Pass ``forward`` as argument to search for the next
hit and ``backward`` to search for the previous hit.
* ``set``
Set an option.
* ``snap_to_page``
Snaps to the current page. Equivalent to ``goto <current_page>``
* ``toggle_fullscreen``
Toggle fullscreen.
* ``toggle_index``
Show or hide index.
* ``toggle_inputbar``
Show or hide inputbar.
* ``toggle_page_mode``

* ``zoom``
Zoom in or out.
* ``mark_add``
Set a quickmark.
* ``mark_evaluate``
Go to a quickmark.
* ``feedkeys``
Simulate key presses. Note that all keys will be interpreted as if pressing a
key on the keyboard. To input uppercase letters, follow the same convention as
for key bindings, i.e. for ``X``, use ``<S-X>``.
*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:
* best-fit
* bottom
* backward
* collapse
* collapse-all
* default
* down
* expand
* expand-all

* up
* width
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>

value in the list will be used for all other number of pages per row if not set
explicitly.
Per default, the first column is set to 2 for double-page layout, i.e. the value
is set to 1:2. A value of 1:1:3 would put the first page in dual-page layout in
the first column, and for layouts with more columns the first page would be put

*page-cache-size*
Defines the maximum number of pages that could be kept in the page cache. When
the cache is full and a new page that isn't cached becomes visible, the least
recently viewed page in the cache will be evicted to make room for the new one.
Large values for this variable are NOT recommended, because this will lead to
consuming a significant portion of the system memory.

thumbnail cache per page. The thumbnail is scaled for a quick preview during
zooming before the page is rendered. When the page is rendered, the result is
saved as the thumbnail only if the size is no more than this value. A larger
value increases quality but introduces longer delay in zooming and uses more
system memory.
* Value type: Integer
* Default value: 4194304 (4M)
*pages-per-row*
Defines the number of pages that are rendered next to each other in a row.
* Value type: Integer

* Value type: Boolean
* Default value: false
*render-loading*
Defines if the "Loading..." text should be displayed if a page is rendered.
* Value type: Boolean
* Default value: true
*render-loading-bg*
Defines the background color that is used for the "Loading..." text.
* Value type: String
* Default value: #FFFFFF
*render-loading-fg*
Defines the foreground color that is used for the "Loading..." text.
* Value type: String
* Default value: #000000
*sandbox*
Defines the sandbox mode to use for the seccomp syscall filter. Possible
values are "none", "normal" and "strict". If "none" is used, the sandbox
will be disabled. The use of "normal" will provide minimal protection and
allow normal use of zathura with support for all features. The "strict" mode
is a read only sandbox that is intended for viewing documents only.
* Value type: String
* Default value: normal
Some features are disabled when using strict sandbox mode:
* saving/writing files
* use of input methods like ibus
* printing
* bookmarks and history
The strict sandbox mode is still experimental with some libc implementations.
Currently supported and tested libc implementations: glibc
No feature regressions are expected when using normal sandbox mode.
When running under WSL, the default is "none" since seccomp is not supported in
that environment.
*scroll-full-overlap*
Defines the proportion of the current viewing area that should be
visible after scrolling a full page.
* Value type: Float
* Default value: 0
*scroll-hstep*

En/Disables horizontally centered search results.
* Value type: Boolean
* Default value: true
*selection-clipboard*
Defines the X clipboard into which mouse-selected data will be written. When it
is "clipboard", selected data will be written to the CLIPBOARD clipboard, and
can be pasted using the Ctrl+v key combination. When it is "primary", selected
data will be written to the PRIMARY clipboard, and can be pasted using the
middle mouse button, or the Shift-Insert key combination.
