name: hydrogen-settings description: > Hydrogen's Settings dialog and the full preference tree the user can change — theme, vim mode, launch-on-login, console-on-startup, 3D control style, font, line numbers, schematic nudge, the embedded Adom Bridge options, and more. READ THIS when the user asks "how do I turn on vim mode", "change the theme", "make Hydrogen launch at startup", "stop Adom Bridge's window popping up", "switch to blender/solidworks orbit controls", "hide line numbers", "show the console on startup", "make the UI compact", or "where are the settings". Opened from the Adom logo menu → Settings. Trigger words — settings, preferences, settings dialog, options, config, theme, dark mode, light mode, high contrast, compact ui, developer mode, vim mode, vim emulation, line numbers, code font, editor font, launch on login, launch on startup, launch on boot, show console, console on startup, 3d controls, control style, fusion solidworks blender orbit, schematic nudge, auto approve, foreground hd, adom desktop window, turn on, turn off, change setting, how do I configure.

Hydrogen Settings — the preference tree

Open it from the Adom logo menu (upper-left teal logo) → Settings (see hydrogen-adom-menu). The dialog is src/lib/components/editor/settings/SettingsDialog.svelte; the canonical tree of sections and keys lives in src/lib/stores/settings.ts (settingsTree).

Preferences are saved per-user (saveUserSetting → PATCH /user/hydrogen/settings) and persist across sessions. Setting a key back to its default removes the override. Keys are dotted (section.subsection.name).

The Settings search box is currently a no-op — it's a placeholder input with a <!-- TODO: Implement settings search --> in SettingsDialog.svelte. Typing in it filters nothing yet; scroll/scan the sections instead.

Sections, keys, and what each does

general

Key Default What it does
general.developer_mode false Enables extra developer/debugging features in the app
general.pane_focus_mode true Only the focused pane is active + highlighted; turn OFF to keep every pane always active

general.appearance (subsection)

Key Default What it does
general.appearance.theme adom-dark App-wide theme. Options: adom-dark, adom-light, adom-dark-high-contrast, adom-light-high-contrast (→ "change the theme" / "light mode" / "high contrast")
general.appearance.user_interface_style standard UI compactness: standard or compact (→ "make the UI more compact")

desktop (Hydrogen app itself)

Key Default What it does
desktop.show_console_on_startup false Show the debug console window when Hydrogen starts (→ "show the console on startup")
desktop.launch_on_boot true Auto-launch Hydrogen on login / at startup (→ "make Hydrogen launch at startup" / "stop Hydrogen launching on login" = set false)

adom_desktop (the embedded Adom Bridge / ab that Hydrogen runs)

When Hydrogen is running it takes over ab, so ab's options live here. See hydrogen-adom-desktop for the Hydrogen↔ab relationship.

Key Type / default What it does
adom_desktop.open action button "Open Adom Bridge" — brings the ab window to the foreground (persists nothing)
adom_desktop.auto_approve_when_running bool, true While Hydrogen runs, keep ab in permanent auto-approve mode (auto-accept ab permission prompts)
adom_desktop.show_window_on_launch bool, true Show ab's window when Hydrogen launches, so you can see it's running (→ "stop ab's window popping up" = set false)
adom_desktop.foreground_hd_on_launch bool, true Bring Hydrogen to the front on launch; ab stays visible but behind Hydrogen

schematic (Schematic Workspace)

Key Default What it does
schematic.nudge_amount.small 1 px Arrow-key nudge distance for components
schematic.nudge_amount.large 8 px Shift+arrow nudge distance
schematic.invert_zoom_direction false Invert mouse-wheel zoom direction
schematic.default_cursor crosshair Default cursor: crosshair or pointer

3d (3D Settings)

Key Default What it does
3d.control_style fusion Orbit/pan/zoom control scheme: fusion, solidworks, or blender (→ "use blender/solidworks controls")
3d.invert_zoom_direction false Invert mouse-wheel zoom direction in 3D

code (Code Workspace)

Key Default What it does
code.appearance.font.family DM Mono Code editor font family (→ "change the code font")
code.line_numbers.enabled true Show line numbers (→ "hide line numbers" = set false)
code.line_numbers.style absolute Line-number style: absolute or relative
code.vim_emulation_mode false Vim motions in the code editor (→ "turn on vim mode" = set true)

simulator (Simulator Workspace)

Key Default What it does
simulator.code_editor_position right Code editor position relative to the 3D environment: right or left

extensions

Present in the tree but currently has no properties (reserved for future extension-specific settings).
