Following a Unix-like philisophy, espanso uses files to manage it's configuration instead of GUIs. This has many advantages, such as the capability to easily sync your configurations between machines using Git or cloud services such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
Structure
All espanso configurations reside in a folder called .espanso, located in the user home directory.
The path of the home directory depends on the Operating System, here's a few examples:
- Windows:
C:\Users\Federico\.espanso\ - Mac:
/Users/Federico/.espanso/ - Linux:
/home/federico/.espanso/
After installing espanso, the .espanso directory will contain the following file structure:
- default.yml
- user/
- packages/
The default.yml file contains the main configurations and for a basic usage, this is the only file
you will be working with.
The user folder is used to store more advanced user configurations, such as Application-specific configs.
The packages folder stores packages installed using the package manager and should not be directly modified
by the user. For more information, check out the Packages section of the documentation.
