Generally, bluetuith will work out-of-the-box, with no configuration required.
In case you need to specify settings without using command-line options, a config file can be used.
Typing bluetuith --help will show you the location of the config file.
The configuration file is in the HJSON format.
You can use the –generate flag to generate the configuration.
For example:
{
adapter: hci0
receive-dir: /home/user/files
keybindings: {
Menu: Alt+m
}
theme: {
Adapter: red
}
}
Keybindings
The keybinding configuration is a list of KeybindingType: keybinding values.
While defining keybindings, the global keybindings must not conflict with the non-global ones.
It is possible to have duplicate keybindings amongst various non-global keybindings, provided
they are not part of the same context.
For example, this is allowed:
keybindings: {
FilebrowserSelect: Space
PlayerTogglePlay: Space
}
But this isn’t:
keybindings: {
Menu: Alt+m
Close: Alt+m
}
Modifiers
The modifiers currently supported for keybindings are Ctrl, Alt and Shift. Shift should only be used in rare cases.
For example, instead of :
Shift+a, typeAAlt+Shift+e, typeAlt+E
and so on.
For the ‘+’ and the space characters, type Plus and Space respectively. For example,
keybindings: {
AdapterChange: Ctrl+Plus
PlayerStop: Ctrl+Space
}

Note that some keybinding combinations may be valid, but may not work due to the way your terminal/environment handles it.
