# Configuration
Configuration directory:
Micro uses the `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro` as the configuration directory. As per the XDG spec,
if `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is not set, `~/.config/micro` is used as the config directory.
At this point, there isn't much you can configure.
Micro has a few options which you can set:
* colorscheme
* tabsize
* syntax
* tabsToSpaces
To set an option run Ctrl-e to execute a command, and type `set option value`, so to set the tabsize to 8 it would be `set tabsize 8`. The default is 4.
The syntax option can simply be on or off, so for example to turn syntax highlighting off, run `set syntax off`. The default is on.
The tabsToSpaces option is on or off. It specifies whether to use spaces instead of tabs or not. The default is off.
The colorscheme can be selected from all the files in the `~/.config/micro/colorschemes/` directory. Micro comes by default with three colorschemes:
* default: this is the default colorscheme.
* solarized: this is the solarized colorscheme (used in the screenshot). You should have the solarized color palette in your terminal to use it.
* solarized-tc: this is the solarized colorscheme for true color, just make sure your terminal supports true color before using it and that the `MICRO_TRUECOLOR` environment variable is set to 1 before starting micro.
These are embedded in the Go binary, but to see their source code, look [here](./runtime/colorschemes)
Any option you set in the editor will be saved to the file `~/.config/micro/settings.json` so, in effect, your configuration file will be created
for you. If you'd like to take your configuration with you to another machine, simply copy the `settings.json` to the other machine.
