issues!)."
default: webengine
restart: true
desc: >-
Backend to use to display websites.
qutebrowser supports two different web rendering engines / backends,
QtWebEngine and QtWebKit (not recommended).
QtWebEngine is Qt's official successor to QtWebKit, and both the default/recommended
backend. It's based on a stripped-down Chromium and regularly updated with security
fixes and new features by the Qt project: https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine
QtWebKit was qutebrowser's original backend when the project was started. However,
support for QtWebKit was discontinued by the Qt project with Qt 5.6 in 2016. The
development of QtWebKit was picked up in an official fork:
https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit - however, the project seems to have stalled
again. The latest release (5.212.0 Alpha 4) from March 2020 is based on a WebKit
version from 2016, with many known security vulnerabilities. Additionally, there is
no process isolation and sandboxing. Due to all those issues, while support for
QtWebKit is still available in qutebrowser for now, using it is strongly
discouraged.
## qt
qt_args:
renamed: qt.args
qt.args:
type:
name: List
valtype: String
none_ok: true
default: []
restart: true
desc: >-
Additional arguments to pass to Qt, without leading `--`.
With QtWebEngine, some Chromium arguments (see
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ for a list)
will work.
qt.environ:
type:
name: Dict
keytype: String
valtype:
name: String
none_ok: true
none_ok: true
default: {}
restart: true
desc: >-
Additional environment variables to set.
Setting an environment variable to null/None will unset it.
force_software_rendering:
renamed: qt.force_software_rendering
qt.force_software_rendering:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- software-opengl: Tell LibGL to use a software implementation of GL
(`LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE` / `QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL`)
- qt-quick: Tell Qt Quick to use a software renderer instead of OpenGL.
(`QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software`)
- chromium: Tell Chromium to disable GPU support and use Skia software
rendering instead. (`--disable-gpu`)
- none: Don't force software rendering.
default: none
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
Force software rendering for QtWebEngine.
This is needed for QtWebEngine to work with Nouveau drivers and can be
useful in other scenarios related to graphic issues.
qt.force_platform:
type:
name: String
none_ok: true
default: null
restart: true
desc: >-
Force a Qt platform to use.
This sets the `QT_QPA_PLATFORM` environment variable and is useful to force
using the XCB plugin when running QtWebEngine on Wayland.
qt.force_platformtheme:
type:
name: String
none_ok: true
default: null
restart: true
desc: >-
Force a Qt platformtheme to use.
This sets the `QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME` environment variable which controls
dialogs like the filepicker. By default, Qt determines the platform theme
based on the desktop environment.
qt.process_model:
renamed: qt.chromium.process_model
qt.chromium.process_model:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- process-per-site-instance: Pages from separate sites are put into
separate processes and separate visits to the same site are also
isolated.
- process-per-site: Pages from separate sites are put into separate
processes. Unlike Process per Site Instance, all visits to the same
site will share an OS process. The benefit of this model is reduced
memory consumption, because more web pages will share processes.
The drawbacks include reduced security, robustness, and
responsiveness.
- single-process: Run all tabs in a single process. This should be used
for debugging purposes only, and it disables `:open --private`.
default: process-per-site-instance
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
Which Chromium process model to use.
Alternative process models use less resources, but decrease security and
robustness.
See the following pages for more details:
- https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/process-models
- https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-features.html#process-models
qt.low_end_device_mode:
renamed: qt.chromium.low_end_device_mode
qt.chromium.low_end_device_mode:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: Always use low-end device mode.
- auto: Decide automatically (uses low-end mode with < 1 GB available
RAM).
- never: Never use low-end device mode.
default: auto
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
When to use Chromium's low-end device mode.
This improves the RAM usage of renderer processes, at the expense of
performance.
qt.chromium.sandboxing:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- enable-all: Enable all available sandboxing mechanisms.
- disable-seccomp-bpf: Disable the Seccomp BPF filter sandbox (Linux only).
- disable-all: Disable all sandboxing (**not recommended!**).
default: enable-all
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
no_autoconfig: true # due to it being dangerous
# yamllint disable rule:line-length
desc: >-
What sandboxing mechanisms in Chromium to use.
Chromium has various sandboxing layers, which should be enabled for normal
browser usage. Mainly for testing and development, it's possible to disable
individual sandboxing layers via this setting.
Open `chrome://sandbox` to see the current sandbox status.
Changing this setting is only recommended if you know what you're doing, as
it **disables one of Chromium's security layers**. To avoid sandboxing being
accidentally disabled persistently, this setting can only be set via
`config.py`, not via `:set`.
See the Chromium documentation for more details:

# yamllint enable rule:line-length
qt.chromium.experimental_web_platform_features:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: Enable experimental web platform features.
- auto: Enable experimental web platform features when using Qt 5.
- never: Disable experimental web platform features.
default: auto
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
Enables Web Platform features that are in development.
This passes the `--enable-experimental-web-platform-features` flag to
Chromium. By default, this is enabled with Qt 5 to maximize compatibility
despite an aging Chromium base.
qt.highdpi:
type: Bool
default: false
restart: true
desc: >-
Turn on Qt HighDPI scaling.
This is equivalent to setting QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING=1 (Qt >= 5.14) in
the environment.
It's off by default as it can cause issues with some bitmap fonts.
As an alternative to this, it's possible to set font sizes and the
`zoom.default` setting.
qt.workarounds.remove_service_workers:
type: Bool
default: false
desc: >-
Delete the QtWebEngine Service Worker directory on every start.
This workaround can help with certain crashes caused by an unknown QtWebEngine bug
related to Service Workers. Those crashes happen seemingly immediately on Windows;
after one hour of operation on other systems.
Note however that enabling this option *can lead to data loss* on some pages (as
Service Worker data isn't persisted) and will negatively impact start-up time.
qt.workarounds.locale:
type: Bool
default: false
backend: QtWebEngine
desc: >-
Work around locale parsing issues in QtWebEngine 5.15.3.
With some locales, QtWebEngine 5.15.3 is unusable without this workaround.
In affected scenarios, QtWebEngine will log "Network service crashed,
restarting service." and only display a blank page.
However, It is expected that distributions shipping QtWebEngine 5.15.3
follow up with a proper fix soon, so it is disabled by default.
qt.workarounds.disable_accelerated_2d_canvas:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: Disable accelerated 2d canvas
- auto: Disable on Qt versions with known issues, enable otherwise
- never: Enable accelerated 2d canvas
default: auto
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
Disable accelerated 2d canvas to avoid graphical glitches.
On some setups graphical issues can occur on sites like Google sheets
and PDF.js. These don't occur when accelerated 2d canvas is turned off,
so we do that by default.
So far these glitches only occur on some Intel graphics devices.
qt.workarounds.disable_hangouts_extension:
type: Bool
default: false
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
Disable the Hangouts extension.
The Hangouts extension provides additional APIs for Google domains only.
Hangouts has been replaced with Meet,
which appears to work without this extension.
Note this setting gets ignored and the Hangouts extension is always
disabled to avoid crashes on Qt 6.5.0 to 6.5.3 if dark mode is enabled,
as well as on Qt 6.6.0.
qt.workarounds.disable_accessibility:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: Disable renderer accessibility
- auto: Disable on Qt versions with known issues, enable otherwise
- never: Enable renderer accessibility
default: auto
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
Disable accessibility to avoid crashes on Qt 6.10.1.
## auto_save
auto_save.interval:
type:
name: Int
minval: 0
maxval: maxint
default: 15000
desc: Time interval (in milliseconds) between auto-saves of
config/cookies/etc.
auto_save.session:
type: Bool
default: false
desc: >-
Always restore open sites when qutebrowser is reopened.
Without this option set, `:wq` (`:quit --save`) needs to be used to save
open tabs (and restore them), while quitting qutebrowser in any other way
will not save/restore the session.
By default, this will save to the session which was last loaded. This
behavior can be customized via the `session.default_name` setting.
## content
content.autoplay:
default: true
type: Bool
backend: QtWebEngine
supports_pattern: true
desc: >-
Automatically start playing `<video>` elements.
content.cache.size:
default: null
type:
name: Int
none_ok: true
minval: 0
maxval: maxint64
desc: >-
Size (in bytes) of the HTTP network cache. Null to use the default value.
With QtWebEngine, the maximum supported value is 2147483647 (~2 GB).
content.canvas_reading:
default: true
type: Bool
backend: QtWebEngine
supports_pattern: true
desc: >-
Allow websites to read canvas elements.
Note this is needed for some websites to work properly.
On QtWebEngine < 6.6, this setting requires a restart and does not support
URL patterns, only the global setting is applied.
# Defaults from QWebSettings::QWebSettings() in
# qtwebkit/Source/WebKit/qt/Api/qwebsettings.cpp
content.cache.maximum_pages:
default: 0
type:
name: Int
minval: 0
maxval: maxint
backend: QtWebKit
desc: >-
Maximum number of pages to hold in the global memory page cache.
The page cache allows for a nicer user experience when navigating forth or
back to pages in the forward/back history, by pausing and resuming up to
_n_ pages.
For more information about the feature, please refer to:
https://webkit.org/blog/427/webkit-page-cache-i-the-basics/
content.cache.appcache:
default: true
type: Bool
backend: QtWebKit
supports_pattern: true
desc: >-
Enable support for the HTML 5 web application cache feature.
An application cache acts like an HTTP cache in some sense. For documents
that use the application cache via JavaScript, the loader engine will first
ask the application cache for the contents, before hitting the network.
content.cookies.accept:
default: all
supports_pattern: true
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- all: "Accept all cookies."
- no-3rdparty: "Accept cookies from the same origin only. This is known
to break some sites, such as GMail."
- no-unknown-3rdparty: "Accept cookies from the same origin only, unless
a cookie is already set for the domain. On QtWebEngine, this is the
same as no-3rdparty."
- never: "Don't accept cookies at all."
desc: >-
Which cookies to accept.
With QtWebEngine, this setting also controls other features with tracking
capabilities similar to those of cookies; including IndexedDB, DOM storage,
filesystem API, service workers, and AppCache.
Note that with QtWebKit, only `all` and `never` are supported as per-domain
values. Setting `no-3rdparty` or `no-unknown-3rdparty` per-domain on
QtWebKit will have the same effect as `all`.
If this setting is used with URL patterns, the pattern gets applied to the
origin/first party URL of the page making the request, not the request URL.
With QtWebEngine 5.15.0+, paths will be stripped from URLs, so URL patterns
using paths will not match. With QtWebEngine 5.15.2+, subdomains are
additionally stripped as well, so you will typically need to set this
setting for `example.com` when the cookie is set on
`somesubdomain.example.com` for it to work properly.
To debug issues with this setting, start qutebrowser with `--debug
--logfilter network --debug-flag log-cookies` which will show all cookies
being set.
content.cookies.store:
default: true
type: Bool
desc: Store cookies.
content.default_encoding:
type: String
default: iso-8859-1
desc: >-
Default encoding to use for websites.
The encoding must be a string describing an encoding such as _utf-8_,
_iso-8859-1_, etc.
content.unknown_url_scheme_policy:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- disallow: "Disallows all navigation requests to URLs with unknown
schemes."
- allow-from-user-interaction: "Allows navigation requests to URLs with
unknown schemes that are issued from user-interaction (like a
mouse-click), whereas other navigation requests (for example from
JavaScript) are suppressed."
- allow-all: "Allows all navigation requests to URLs with unknown
schemes."
default: allow-from-user-interaction
backend: QtWebEngine
supports_pattern: true
desc: >-
How navigation requests to URLs with unknown schemes are handled.
content.windowed_fullscreen:
renamed: content.fullscreen.window
content.fullscreen.window:
type: Bool
default: false
desc: >-
Limit fullscreen to the browser window (does not expand to fill the screen).
content.fullscreen.overlay_timeout:
type:
name: Int
minval: 0
maxval: maxint
default: 3000
desc: >-
Set fullscreen notification overlay timeout in milliseconds.
If set to 0, no overlay will be displayed.
content.desktop_capture:
type: BoolAsk
default: ask
supports_pattern: true
desc: Allow websites to share screen content.
content.developer_extras:
deleted: true
content.dns_prefetch:
default: true
type: Bool
backend: QtWebEngine
supports_pattern: true
desc: Try to pre-fetch DNS entries to speed up browsing.
content.frame_flattening:
default: false
type: Bool
backend: QtWebKit
supports_pattern: true
desc: >-
Expand each subframe to its contents.
This will flatten all the frames to become one scrollable page.
content.prefers_reduced_motion:
default: false
type: Bool
backend: QtWebEngine
restart: true
desc: >-
Request websites to minimize non-essentials animations and motion.
This results in the `prefers-reduced-motion` CSS media query to evaluate to
`reduce` (rather than `no-preference`).
On Windows, if this setting is set to False, the system-wide animation
setting is considered.
content.site_specific_quirks:
renamed: content.site_specific_quirks.enabled
content.site_specific_quirks.enabled:
default: true
restart: true
type: Bool
desc: 'Enable quirks (such as faked user agent headers) needed to get
specific sites to work properly.'
content.site_specific_quirks.skip:
type:
name: FlagList
valid_values:
- ua-google
- ua-googledocs
- ua-gnome-gitlab
- js-whatsapp-web
- js-discord
- js-string-replaceall
- js-array-at
- misc-krunker
- misc-mathml-darkmode
none_ok: true

content.geolocation:
default: ask
type: BoolAsk
supports_pattern: true
desc: Allow websites to request geolocations.
content.mouse_lock:
default: ask

backend: QtWebEngine
desc: Allow websites to lock your mouse pointer.
content.headers.accept_language:
type:
name: String
none_ok: true
encoding: ascii
supports_pattern: true
default: en-US,en;q=0.9
desc: >-
Value to send in the `Accept-Language` header.
Note that the value read from JavaScript is always the global value.

supports_pattern: true
desc: Custom headers for qutebrowser HTTP requests.
content.headers.do_not_track:
type:
name: Bool
none_ok: true
default: true
supports_pattern: true
desc: >-
Value to send in the `DNT` header.
When this is set to true, qutebrowser asks websites to not track your
identity. If set to null, the DNT header is not sent at all.
content.headers.referer:
default: same-domain
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: "Always send the Referer. With QtWebEngine 6.2+, this value is
unavailable and will act like `same-domain`."
- never: "Never send the Referer. This is not recommended, as some sites
may break."
- same-domain: "Only send the Referer for the same domain. This will
still protect your privacy, but shouldn't break any sites. With
QtWebEngine, the referer will still be sent for other domains, but
with stripped path information."
restart: true
desc: >-
When to send the Referer header.
The Referer header tells websites from which website you were coming from
when visiting them. Note that with QtWebEngine, websites can override this
preference by setting the `Referrer-Policy:` header, so that any websites
visited from them get the full referer.
No restart is needed with QtWebKit.
content.headers.user_agent:
default: 'Mozilla/5.0 ({os_info})
AppleWebKit/{webkit_version} (KHTML, like Gecko)

User agent to send.
The following placeholders are defined:
* `{os_info}`: Something like "X11; Linux x86_64".
* `{webkit_version}`: The underlying WebKit version (set to a fixed value
with QtWebEngine).
* `{qt_key}`: "Qt" for QtWebKit, "QtWebEngine" for QtWebEngine.
* `{qt_version}`: The underlying Qt version.
* `{upstream_browser_key}`: "Version" for QtWebKit, "Chrome" for
QtWebEngine.
* `{upstream_browser_version}`: The corresponding Safari/Chrome version.
* `{upstream_browser_version_short}`: The corresponding Safari/Chrome

type:
name: List
valtype: Url
none_ok: true
desc: |
List of URLs to host blocklists for the host blocker.
Only used when the simple host-blocker is used (see `content.blocking.method`).
The file can be in one of the following formats:
- An `/etc/hosts`-like file
- One host per line
- A zip-file of any of the above, with either only one file, or a file
named `hosts` (with any extension).
It's also possible to add a local file or directory via a `file://` URL. In
case of a directory, all files in the directory are read as adblock lists.
The file `~/.config/qutebrowser/blocked-hosts` is always read if it exists.
content.blocking.hosts.block_subdomains:
default: true
type: Bool
desc: >-
Block subdomains of blocked hosts.
Note: If only a single subdomain is blocked but should be allowed, consider
using `content.blocking.whitelist` instead.
content.blocking.method:
default: auto
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- auto: "Use Brave's ABP-style adblocker if available, host blocking
otherwise"
- adblock: Use Brave's ABP-style adblocker
- hosts: Use hosts blocking
- both: Use both hosts blocking and Brave's ABP-style adblocker
desc: |
Which method of blocking ads should be used.
Support for Adblock Plus (ABP) syntax blocklists using Brave's Rust library requires
the `adblock` Python package to be installed, which is an optional dependency of
qutebrowser. It is required when either `adblock` or `both` are selected.
content.blocking.adblock.lists:
default:
- "https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt"
- "https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt"
type:
name: List
valtype: Url
none_ok: true
desc: |
List of URLs to ABP-style adblocking rulesets.
Only used when Brave's ABP-style adblocker is used (see `content.blocking.method`).
You can find an overview of available lists here:
https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions - note that the special
`subscribe.adblockplus.org` links aren't handled by qutebrowser, you will instead
need to find the link to the raw `.txt` file (e.g. by extracting it from the
`location` parameter of the subscribe URL and URL-decoding it).
content.blocking.whitelist:
default: []
type:
name: List
valtype: UrlPattern
none_ok: true
desc: >-
A list of patterns that should always be loaded, despite being blocked by the
ad-/host-blocker.
Local domains are always exempt from adblocking.
Note this whitelists otherwise blocked requests, not first-party URLs. As
an example, if `example.org` loads an ad from `ads.example.org`, the
whitelist entry could be `https://ads.example.org/*`. If you want to
disable the adblocker on a given page, use the
`content.blocking.enabled` setting with a URL pattern instead.
content.hyperlink_auditing:

With QtWebEngine, writing the clipboard as response to a user interaction
is always allowed.
On Qt < 6.8, the `ask` setting is equivalent to `none` and permission needs
to be granted manually via this setting.

desc: >-
Log levels to use for JavaScript console logging messages.
When a JavaScript message with the level given in the dictionary key is
logged, the corresponding dictionary value selects the qutebrowser logger
to use.
On QtWebKit, the "unknown" setting is always used.
The following levels are valid: `none`, `debug`, `info`, `warning`,
`error`.
content.javascript.log_message:

Javascript message sources/levels to show in the qutebrowser UI.
When a JavaScript message is logged from a location matching the glob
pattern given in the key, and is from one of the levels listed as value,
it's surfaced as a message in the qutebrowser UI.
By default, errors happening in qutebrowser internally are shown to the
user.
content.javascript.log_message.excludes:
type:

none_ok: true
valtype:
name: List
valtype: String
default:
"userscript:_qute_stylesheet":
- "*Refused to apply inline style because it violates the following Content
Security Policy directive: *"
desc: >-
Javascript messages to *not* show in the UI, despite a corresponding
`content.javascript.log_message.levels` setting.
Both keys and values are glob patterns, with the key matching the location
of the error, and the value matching the error message.
By default, the https://web.dev/csp/[Content security policy] violations
triggered by qutebrowser's stylesheet handling are excluded, as those errors
are to be expected and can't be easily handled by the underlying code.
content.javascript.modal_dialog:
type: Bool
default: false
desc: Use the standard JavaScript modal dialog for `alert()` and `confirm()`.
content.javascript.prompt:
default: true
type: Bool
desc: Show javascript prompts.
content.javascript.legacy_touch_events:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: Legacy touch events are always enabled. This might cause some
websites to assume a mobile device.
- auto: Legacy touch events are only enabled if a touch screen was
detected on startup.
- never: Legacy touch events are always disabled.

- qt: Use Qt's native notification presenter, based on a system tray icon.
Switching from or to this value requires a restart of qutebrowser.
- libnotify: Shows messages via DBus in a libnotify-compatible way. If DBus isn't
available, falls back to `systray` or `messages`, but shows an error
message.
- systray: Use a notification presenter based on a systray icon. Falls back to
`libnotify` or `messages` if not systray is available. This is a
reimplementation of the `qt` setting value, but with the possibility to
switch to it at runtime.
- messages: Show notifications as qutebrowser messages. Most notification features
aren't available.
- herbe: (experimental!) Show notifications using herbe (github.com/dudik/herbe).
Most notification features aren't available.
backend: QtWebEngine
desc: >-

Note that not all implementations support all features of notifications:
- The `qt` and `systray` options only support showing one notification at the time
and ignore the `tag` option to replace existing notifications.
- The `herbe` option only supports showing one notification at the time and doesn't
show icons.
- The `messages` option doesn't show icons and doesn't support the `click` and
`close` events.
content.notifications.show_origin:
default: true
type: Bool
supports_pattern: true
backend: QtWebEngine
desc: >-
Whether to show the origin URL for notifications.
Note that URL patterns with this setting only get matched against the origin part of
the URL, so e.g. paths in patterns will never match.
Note that with the `qt` presenter, origins are never shown.
content.pdfjs:
default: false
type: Bool
supports_pattern: true
desc: >-
Display PDF files via PDF.js in the browser without showing a download prompt.
Note that the files can still be downloaded by clicking the download button
in the pdf.js viewer. With this set to `false`, the `:prompt-open-download

desc: >-
Proxy to use.
In addition to the listed values, you can use a `socks://...` or
`http://...` URL.
Note that with QtWebEngine, it will take a couple of seconds until the
change is applied, if this value is changed at runtime. Authentication for
SOCKS proxies isn't supported due to Chromium limitations.
content.proxy_dns_requests:
default: true
type: Bool
backend: QtWebKit
desc: Send DNS requests over the configured proxy.
content.register_protocol_handler:

to HSTS).
- ask-block-thirdparty: Ask how to proceed for normal page loads, but silently
block resource loads.
- block: Automatically block loading on certificate errors.
- load-insecurely: Force loading pages despite certificate errors. This is
*insecure* and should be avoided. Instead of using this, consider fixing the
underlying issue or importing a self-signed certificate via `certutil` (or
Chromium) instead.

content.webrtc_ip_handling_policy:
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- all-interfaces: WebRTC has the right to enumerate all interfaces and
bind them to discover public interfaces.
- default-public-and-private-interfaces: WebRTC should only use the
default route used by http. This also exposes the associated
default private address. Default route is the route chosen by the
OS on a multi-homed endpoint.
- default-public-interface-only: WebRTC should only use the default route
used by http. This doesn't expose any local addresses.
- disable-non-proxied-udp: WebRTC should only use TCP to contact peers or
servers unless the proxy server supports UDP. This doesn't expose
any local addresses either.
default: all-interfaces
backend: QtWebEngine

desc: >-
A list of patterns which should not be shown in the history.
This only affects the completion. Matching URLs are still saved in the
history (and visible on the `:history` page), but hidden in the
completion.
Changing this setting will cause the completion history to be regenerated
on the next start, which will take a short while.

Search engines which can be used via the address bar.
Maps a search engine name (such as `DEFAULT`, or `ddg`) to a URL with a
`{}` placeholder. The placeholder will be replaced by the search term, use
`{{` and `}}` for literal `{`/`}` braces.
The following further placeholds are defined to configure how special
characters in the search terms are replaced by safe characters (called
'quoting'):
* `{}` and `{semiquoted}` quote everything except slashes; this is the most
sensible choice for almost all search engines (for the search term
`slash/and&amp` this placeholder expands to `slash/and%26amp`).
* `{quoted}` quotes all characters (for `slash/and&amp` this placeholder
expands to `slash%2Fand%26amp`).
* `{unquoted}` quotes nothing (for `slash/and&amp` this placeholder
expands to `slash/and&amp`).
* `{0}` means the same as `{}`, but can be used multiple times.
The search engine named `DEFAULT` is used when `url.auto_search` is turned
on and something else than a URL was entered to be opened. Other search
engines can be used by prepending the search engine name to the search
term, e.g. `:open google qutebrowser`.

desc: >-
Value to use for `prefers-color-scheme:` for websites.
The "light" value is only available with QtWebEngine 5.15.2+. On older versions, it
is the same as "auto".
The "auto" value is broken on QtWebEngine 5.15.2 due to a Qt bug. There, it will
fall back to "light" unconditionally.

## dark mode
colors.webpage.darkmode.enabled:
default: false
type: Bool
desc: >-
Render all web contents using a dark theme.
On QtWebEngine < 6.7, this setting requires a restart and does not support
URL patterns, only the global setting is applied.
Example configurations from Chromium's `chrome://flags`:
- "With simple HSL/CIELAB/RGB-based inversion": Set
`colors.webpage.darkmode.algorithm` accordingly, and
set `colors.webpage.darkmode.policy.images` to `never`.
- "With selective image inversion": qutebrowser default settings.
supports_pattern: true
backend: QtWebEngine
colors.webpage.darkmode.algorithm:
default: lightness-cielab
desc: >-
Which algorithm to use for modifying how colors are rendered with dark mode.
The `lightness-cielab` value was added with QtWebEngine 5.14 and is treated
like `lightness-hsl` with older QtWebEngine versions.
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- lightness-cielab: Modify colors by converting them to CIELAB color
space and inverting the L value. Not available with Qt < 5.14.
- lightness-hsl: Modify colors by converting them to the HSL color space
and inverting the lightness (i.e. the "L" in HSL).
- brightness-rgb: Modify colors by subtracting each of r, g, and b from
their maximum value.
# kSimpleInvertForTesting is not exposed, as it's equivalent to
# kInvertBrightness without gamma correction, and only available for
# Chromium's automated tests

type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: Apply dark mode filter to all images.
- never: Never apply dark mode filter to any images.
- smart: "Apply dark mode based on image content. Not available with Qt
5.15.0."
- smart-simple: "On QtWebEngine 6.6, use a simpler algorithm for smart mode (based
on numbers of colors and transparency), rather than an ML-based model.
Same as 'smart' on older QtWebEnigne versions."
desc: >-
Which images to apply dark mode to.
restart: true
backend: QtWebEngine
colors.webpage.darkmode.policy.page:
default: smart
type:
name: String
valid_values:
- always: Apply dark mode filter to all frames, regardless of content.
- smart: Apply dark mode filter to frames based on background color.
desc: >-
Which pages to apply dark mode to.
The underlying Chromium setting has been removed in QtWebEngine 5.15.3, thus this
setting is ignored there. Instead, every element is now classified individually.

colors.webpage.darkmode.threshold.foreground:
default: 256
type:
name: Int
minval: 0
maxval: 256
desc: >-
Threshold for inverting text with dark mode.
Text colors with brightness below this threshold will be inverted, and
above it will be left as in the original, non-dark-mode page. Set to 256
to always invert text color or to 0 to never invert text color.
restart: true
backend: QtWebEngine
colors.webpage.darkmode.threshold.background:
default: 0
type:
name: Int
minval: 0
maxval: 256
desc: >-
Threshold for inverting background elements with dark mode.
Background elements with brightness above this threshold will be inverted,
and below it will be left as in the original, non-dark-mode page. Set to
256 to never invert the color or to 0 to always invert it.
Note: This behavior is the opposite of
`colors.webpage.darkmode.threshold.foreground`!

## keybindings

type:

none_ok: true
keytype: Key
valtype: Key
desc: >-
Map keys to other keys, so that they are equivalent in all modes.
When the key used as dictionary-key is pressed, the binding for the key
used as dictionary-value is invoked instead.
This is useful for global remappings of keys, for example to map <Ctrl-[> to
<Escape>.
NOTE: This should only be used if two keys should always be equivalent, i.e. for
things like <Enter> (keypad) and <Return> (non-keypad). For normal command bindings,
qutebrowser works differently to vim: You always bind keys to commands, usually via
`:bind` or `config.bind()`. Instead of using this setting, consider finding the
command a key is bound to (e.g. via `:bind gg`) and then binding the same command to
the desired key.
Note that when a key is bound (via `bindings.default` or
`bindings.commands`), the mapping is ignored.

Default keybindings. If you want to add bindings, modify
`bindings.commands` instead.
The main purpose of this setting is that you can set it to an empty
dictionary if you want to load no default keybindings at all.
If you want to preserve default bindings (and get new bindings when there
is an update), use `config.bind()` in `config.py` or the `:bind` command,
and leave this setting alone.

Keybindings mapping keys to commands in different modes.
While it's possible to add bindings with this setting, it's recommended to
use `config.bind()` in `config.py` or the `:bind` command, and leave this
setting alone.
This setting is a dictionary containing mode names and dictionaries mapping
keys to commands:
`{mode: {key: command}}`
If you want to map a key to another key, check the `bindings.key_mappings`
setting instead.
For modifiers, you can use either `-` or `+` as delimiters, and these
names:
* Control: `Control`, `Ctrl`
* Meta: `Meta`, `Windows`, `Mod4`
* Alt: `Alt`, `Mod1`
* Shift: `Shift`
For simple keys (no `<>`-signs), a capital letter means the key is pressed
with Shift. For special keys (with `<>`-signs), you need to explicitly add
`Shift-` to match a key pressed with shift.
If you want a binding to do nothing, bind it to the `nop` command.
If you want a default binding to be passed through to the website, bind it
to null.
Note that some commands which are only useful for bindings (but not used
interactively) are hidden from the command completion. See `:help` for a
full list of available commands.
The following modes are available:
* normal: Default mode, where most commands are invoked.
* insert: Entered when an input field is focused on a website, or by
pressing `i` in normal mode. Passes through almost all keypresses to the
website, but has some bindings like `<Ctrl-e>` to open an external
editor. Note that single keys can't be bound in this mode.
* hint: Entered when `f` is pressed to select links with the keyboard. Note
that single keys can't be bound in this mode.
* passthrough: Similar to insert mode, but passes through all keypresses
except `<Shift+Escape>` to leave the mode. Note that single keys can't be
bound in this mode.
* command: Entered when pressing the `:` key in order to enter a command.
Note that single keys can't be bound in this mode.
* prompt: Entered when there's a prompt to display, like for download
locations or when invoked from JavaScript.
* yesno: Entered when there's a yes/no prompt displayed.
* caret: Entered when pressing the `v` mode, used to select text using the
keyboard.
* register: Entered when qutebrowser is waiting for a register name/key for
commands like `:set-mark`.
