Settings

Every Settings page and the keys it stores, generated from the settings schema.

Open Settings from the command palette or the menu. Settings are saved as you change them, in ~/.tandem/. This reference is generated from the app's settings schema; each page has its own anchor, such as #settings-privacy.
