The configuration alias

This alias, by default translated to the internal zellij:configuration plugin url, is the settings screen. It is loaded by default with Ctrl o + c, and by the "Settings…" item of the right-click menu.

Zellij also loads it through this alias to show the setup screen when a new session starts.

Configuration

The page values are the page titles in lowercase, with every character other than a letter or a digit replaced by _: general, appearance, keyboard, mouse, clipboard_and_selection, panes_and_layouts, attention, notifications, sessions, zellij_terminal, web, advanced, themes, pane_borders, key_bindings, mouse_bindings, right_click_menu and plugins_and_environment.

For example, to bind a key that opens the right-click menu settings:

keybinds {
    shared_except "locked" {
        bind "Alt m" {
            LaunchOrFocusPlugin "configuration" {
                floating true
                move_to_focused_tab true
                page "right_click_menu"
            }
        }
    }
}

Contract

Zellij loads this plugin as a floating pane. When showing the setup screen at the start of a session, it passes is_setup_wizard true. Zellij has no other expectations from this plugin, but users will probably expect it to change and save their configuration.
