.SH Configuration of Chawan
Chawan supports configuration of various options like keybindings, user
stylesheets, site preferences, etc.
The configuration format is similar to toml, with the following
exceptions:
.IP \(bu 2
Regular tables (\f[CR][table]\f[R]) and inline tables
(\f[CR]table = {}\f[R]) have different semantics.
The first is additive, meaning default values are not removed.
The second is destructive, and clears all default definitions in the
table specified.
.IP \(bu 2
\f[CR][[table\-array]]\f[R] is sugar for \f[CR][table\-array.n]\f[R],
where \f[CR]n\f[R] is the number of declared table arrays.
For example, you can declare anonymous siteconfs using the syntax
\f[CR][[siteconf]]\f[R].
.PP
The canonical configuration file path is \(ti/.chawan/config.toml, but
the search path accommodates XDG basedirs as well:
.IP "1." 3
config file specified through \-C switch \-> use that
.IP "2." 3
\f[CR]$CHA_DIR\f[R] is set \-> use \f[CR]$CHA_DIR/config.toml\f[R]
.IP "3." 3
\f[CR]${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:\-\(ti/.config}/chawan/config.toml\f[R] exists
\-> use that
.IP "4." 3
\f[CR]\(ti/.chawan/config.toml\f[R] exists \-> use that
.PP
See the \f[I]Path handling\f[R] section for details on how the config
directory can be accessed.
.PP
For a configuration template, see bonus/config.toml in the source
distribution.
.SS Start
Start\-up options are to be placed in the \f[CR][start]\f[R] section.
.PP
Following is a list of start\-up options:
.TP
visual\-home = \(lqabout:chawan\(rq
\f[B]URL\f[R]
.RS
Page opened when Chawan is called with the \-V option and no other pages
are passed as arguments.
.RE
.TP
startup\-script = \(lq\(rq
\f[B]JavaScript code\f[R]
.RS
Script Chawan runs on start\-up.
Pages will not be loaded until this function exits.
(Note however that asynchronous functions like setTimeout do not block
loading.)
.RE
.TP
headless = false
\f[B]boolean\f[R] / \f[B]\(lqdump\(rq\f[R]
.RS
When set to true or \(lqdump\(rq, the browser does not take input;
instead, it prints a rendered version of all buffers in order, then
exits.
The difference between \f[CR]true\f[R] and \(lqdump\(rq is that
\f[CR]true\f[R] first waits for all scripts and network requests to run
to completion, while \(lqdump\(rq does not.
This means that \f[CR]true\f[R] may never exit when scripting is enabled
(e.g.\ if a script sets \f[CR]setInterval\f[R].)
Piping \f[CR]cha\f[R] to an external program or passing the
\f[CR]\-d\f[R] switch has the same effect as setting this option to
\(lqdump\(rq.
.RE
.TP
console\-buffer = true
\f[B]boolean\f[R]
.RS
Whether Chawan should open a console buffer in non\-headless mode.
Warning: this is only useful for debugging.
Disabling this option without manually redirecting standard error will
result in error messages randomly appearing on your screen.
.RE
.SS Buffer
Buffer options are to be placed in the \f[CR][buffer]\f[R] section.

fingerprint users (e.g.\ querying the window\(cqs size).
This may achieve better compatibility with websites that behave like
applications, at the cost of reduced privacy.
For security and performance reasons, users are encouraged to
selectively enable JavaScript with \f[CR][[siteconf]]\f[R] instead of
using this setting.
.RE

.RE
.TP
cookie = false
\f[B]boolean\f[R] / \f[B]\(lqsave\(rq\f[R]
.RS
Enable/disable cookies on sites.
If the string \(lqsave\(rq is specified, then cookies are also saved to
\f[CR]external.cookie\-file\f[R].
\f[CR]true\f[R] still reads cookies.txt, but does not modify it.
In Chawan, each website gets a separate cookie jar, so websites relying
on cross\-site cookies may not work as expected.
You may use the \f[CR][[siteconf]]\f[R]
\f[CR]\(dqshare\-cookie\-jar\(dq\f[R] setting to adjust this behavior
for specific sites.
.RE
.TP
referer\-from = false
\f[B]boolean\f[R]
.RS
Enable/disable the \(lqReferer\(rq header.
Defaults to false.
For privacy reasons, users are encouraged to leave this option disabled,
only enabling it for specific sites in \f[CR][[siteconf]]\f[R].
.RE
.TP

.PP
Keybindings are configured using the syntax
.IP
.EX
\(aq<keybinding>\(aq = \(aq<action>\(aq
.EE
.PP
Where \f[CR]<keybinding>\f[R] is a combination of unicode characters
using the syntax described below.
.PP
\f[CR]<action>\f[R] is either a command defined in the \f[CR][cmd]\f[R]
section, or a JavaScript expression.
This document only describes the pre\-defined actions in the default

.SS Keybinding format
A keybinding is a space\-separated list of keys, optionally prefixed by
modifiers \f[CR]S\-\f[R] (shift), \f[CR]C\-\f[R] (control), or
\f[CR]M\-\f[R] (meta).
.PP
In general, ASCII/Unicode keys can be written as\-is.
The exception is space, which is written as \f[CR]SPC\f[R].
.PP
Other supported named keys are: \f[CR]TAB\f[R], \f[CR]ESC\f[R],
\f[CR]RET\f[R] (return key), \f[CR]LF\f[R] (enter key/line feed),
\f[CR]Left\f[R], \f[CR]Up\f[R], \f[CR]Down\f[R], \f[CR]Right\f[R]
(cursor keys), \f[CR]PageUp\f[R], \f[CR]PageDown\f[R] (page up/down),
\f[CR]Home\f[R], \f[CR]End\f[R], and function keys \f[CR]F1\f[R] through
\f[CR]F20\f[R].
.PP
For backwards\-compatibility, spaces can be omitted from key sequences
that do not start with an upper\-case letter.
For example, \f[CR]\(aqgg\(aq\f[R] and \f[CR]\(aqg g\(aq\f[R] are
equivalent.
However, components that start with an upper\-case letter
(e.g.\ \f[CR]\(aqGg\(aq\f[R]) are reserved for key names, so those must
be space\-separated (e.g.\ \f[CR]\(aqG g\(aq\f[R]) to avoid ambiguous
parsing.
.PP
Also, for backwards\-compatibility, spaces at the beginning/end of the
keybinding are translated to \f[CR]SPC\f[R].
.SS Pager actions
Default keybindings are highlighted in \f[B]bold\f[R].

Note: to facilitate URL editing, the line editor has a different
definition of what a word is than the pager.
For the line editor, a word is either a sequence of alphanumeric
characters, or any single non\-alphanumeric character.
(This means that e.g.\ \f[CR]https://\f[R] consists of four words:
\f[CR]https\f[R], \f[CR]:\f[R], \f[CR]/\f[R] and \f[CR]/\f[R].)
.IP
.EX
# Control+A moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.
\(aqC\-a\(aq = \(aqline.begin\(aq

# Escape+D deletes everything after the cursor until it reaches a word\-breaking
# character.
\(aqM\-d\(aq = \(aqline.killWord\(aq

.SS Regex handling
Regular expressions are currently handled using the libregexp library
from QuickJS.
This means that all regular expressions work as in JavaScript.
.PP
There are two different modes of regex preprocessing in Chawan:
\(lqsearch\(rq mode and \(lqmatch\(rq mode.
Match mode is used for configurations (meaning in all values in this
document described as \(lqregex\(rq).
Search mode is used for the on\-page search function (using
searchForward/isearchForward etc.)
.SS Match mode
Regular expressions are assumed to be exact matches, except when they
start with a caret (\(ha) sign or end with an unescaped dollar ($) sign.
.PP
In other words, the following transformations occur:
.IP
.EX
\(haabcd \-> \(haabcd (no change, only beginning is matched)
efgh$ \-> efgh$ (no change, only end is matched)
\(haijkl$ \-> \(haijkl$ (no change, the entire line is matched)
mnop \-> \(hamnop$ (changed to exact match, the entire line is matched)
.EE
.PP
Match mode has no way to toggle JavaScript regex flags like
\f[CR]i\f[R].
.SS Search mode
For on\-page search, the above transformations do not apply; the search
\f[CR]/abcd\f[R] searches for the string \f[CR]abcd\f[R] inside all
lines.
.PP
Search mode also has some other convenience transformations (these do
not work in match mode):
.IP \(bu 2
The string \f[CR]\(rsc\f[R] (backslash + lower\-case c) inside a
search\-mode regex enables case\-insensitive matching.
.IP \(bu 2
Conversely, \f[CR]\(rsC\f[R] (backslash + capital C) disables
case\-insensitive matching.
(Useful if you have \f[CR]ignore\-case\f[R] set to true, which is the
default.)
.IP \(bu 2
\f[CR]\(rs<\f[R] and \f[CR]\(rs>\f[R] is converted to \f[CR]\(rsb\f[R]
(as in vi, grep, etc.)
.PP
Like match mode, search mode operates on individual lines.
This means that search patterns do not match text wrapped over multiple
lines.
.SS Path handling
Rules for path handling are similar to how the shell handles strings.
.IP \(bu 2
Tilde\-expansion is used to determine the user\(cqs home directory.
So e.g.\ \f[CR]\(ti/whatever\f[R] works.
.IP \(bu 2
Environment variables can be used like \f[CR]$ENV_VAR\f[R].
.IP \(bu 2
Relative paths are relative to the Chawan configuration directory
(i.e.\ \f[CR]$CHA_DIR\f[R]).
.PP
Some environment variables are also exported by Chawan:
.IP \(bu 2
\f[CR]$CHA_BIN_DIR\f[R]: the directory which the \f[CR]cha\f[R] binary
resides in.
Symbolic links are automatically resolved to determine this path.
.IP \(bu 2
\f[CR]$CHA_LIBEXEC_DIR\f[R]: the directory for all executables Chawan
uses for operation.
By default, this is \f[CR]$CHA_BIN_DIR/../libexec/chawan\f[R].
.IP \(bu 2
\f[CR]$CHA_DIR\f[R]: the configuration directory.
(This can also be set by the user; see the top section for details.)
.IP \(bu 2
\f[CR]$CHA_DATA_DIR\f[R]: if the configuration file uses XDG base
directories, this is
\f[CR]${XDG_DATA_HOME:\-$HOME/.local/share}/chawan\f[R].
Otherwise, it is the same as \f[CR]$CHA_DIR\f[R].
.RS 2
.IP \(bu 2
Exception: if \f[CR]$CHA_DIR\f[R] is set before \f[CR]cha\f[R] is
invoked, then \f[CR]$CHA_DATA_DIR\f[R] is also read.
This is to make nested invocations work in configurations with XDG
basedirs.
.RE
.SS Word types
Word\-based pager commands can operate with different definitions of
words.
Currently, these are:
.IP \(bu 2
w3m words
.IP \(bu 2
vi words
.IP \(bu 2
Big words
.SS w3m word
A w3m word is a sequence of alphanumeric characters.
Symbols are treated in the same way as whitespace.
.SS vi word
A vi word is a sequence of characters in the same character category.
Currently, character categories are alphanumeric characters, symbols,
han letters, hiragana, katakana, and hangul.
.PP
vi words may be separated by whitespace; however, vi words from separate
categories do not have to be whitespace\-separated.
e.g.\ the following character sequence contains two words:
.IP
.EX
hello[]+{}\(at\(ga!
.EE
.SS Big word
A big word is a sequence of non\-whitespace characters.
.PP
It is essentially the same as a w3m word, but with symbols being defined
as non\-whitespace.
