<H2>Preferences files</H2>
<!-- ##prefs-file## -->
<P>
medit preferences are stored in <CODE>$HOME/.config/meditrc</CODE> file.
It is an XML file which may be edited to set preferences which have not found
their place in the &lt;interface&gt;Preferences&lt;/interface&gt; dialog.
</P>
<P>
NOTE: medit reads the preferences file on startup and writes it whenever <I>OK</I>
or <I>Apply</I> button is clicked in the <I>Preferences</I> dialog. Therefore, if you
modify the preferences file, your changes may be overwritten, and they not take
the effect until you restart medit.
</P>
<P>
The following "hidden" settings are available.
</P>
<UL>
<LI><CODE>Editor/window_title</CODE>: Format of the window title. It is a string which may
contain format sequences: percent sign followed by a character:
<UL>
<LI><CODE>%a</CODE>: application name;
<LI><CODE>%b</CODE>: current document basename;
<LI><CODE>%f</CODE>: full path of the current document;
<LI><CODE>%u</CODE>: URI of the current document;
<LI><CODE>%s</CODE>: the status of the current document, e.g. "`` [modified]``". It is prefixed
with space, so that "<CODE>%b%s</CODE>" will produce a nice string;
<LI><CODE>%%</CODE>: the percent character.
<P></P>
Default value is "<CODE>%a - %f%s</CODE>" which produces something like "<CODE>medit - /home/user/file [modified]</CODE>".
<P></P>
</UL>
<LI><CODE>Editor/window_title_no_doc</CODE>: Same as <CODE>Editor/window_title</CODE>, used when no document is open. Default value is "<CODE>%a</CODE>".
<LI><CODE>Editor/tab_width</CODE>: Visual width of the Tab character, 8 by default.
</UL>
