Settings Reference
Open Settings from the gear icon or the command palette. The highlights, section by section.
Appearance
- Theme — light / dark; Custom CSS file re-skins the whole app.
- Font family (presets or any installed font) and a separate Code font for code blocks and inline code.
- Font size, UI font size, and a separate preview font size; Ctrl/⌘ +/−/0 zooms the whole app on top of these.
- Language — 14 interface languages; the command palette follows it.
Editor
- Word wrap, line numbers, limit editor width (centered readable column).
- Solid cursor — stop the caret from blinking.
- Vim mode, focus mode, typewriter mode, spell check.
- Live preview toggle for edit mode, and a startup view mode override.
- Hard line breaks — treat a single newline as a
<br>(like GitHub comments). - Auto-number headings — promote plain
6.2 Titlelines to real headings (off by default). - Code block wrap — soft-wrap long code lines instead of a horizontal scrollbar; code block line numbers.
Files & session
- Restore session — reopen tabs and layout on launch; per-workspace tabs — each folder remembers its own tab set.
- Auto-reload external changes for clean tabs; dirty tabs always ask.
- Auto-save on window blur (off by default), open files in a new window, reveal in file tree on open.
- Attachment folder for pasted images (shared or per-note).
Panels & workspace
- Defaults for the outline, file tree, and every right-sidebar pane (see the Workspace guide).
- Outline marker style — jump letters / numbers / none; outline side left or right.
- Daily notes folder.
Sync, history & AI
Covered in depth in Sync & History and AI features — tokens and API keys always live in the OS keychain, never in config files.
Privacy
- Telemetry — anonymous feature-usage counts (no IP, no file content, no personal data); one switch turns it off entirely.
- PlantUML rendering and image hosting are opt-in because they send data to a server you configure.
Resetting
To reset every setting to defaults, quit SoloMD and delete the app data folder —
%APPDATA%\app.solomd on Windows, ~/Library/Application
Support/app.solomd on macOS, ~/.config/app.solomd on Linux.
Your notes are ordinary files elsewhere and are not touched.
