Profiles and Presets

Tool presets (quick slots)

Presets let you save the current drawing profile and switch instantly. Newly saved presets capture the selected tool plus the full per-tool settings profile: colors, sizes, fill, marker opacity, text background, eraser settings, arrow settings, status-bar preference, and drag bindings.

Older presets that only contain tool, color, and size still load with the legacy behavior.

Defaults:

• Apply preset 1-5 with keys 1 to 5
• Save preset 1-5 with Shift+1 to Shift+5
• Open the command palette and search for Save preset to save any slot without memorizing its shortcut

Configure them in config.toml:

[presets]
slot_count = 5

[presets.slot_1]
name = "Red pen"
tool = "pen"
color = "red"
size = 3.0

# Optional full profile saved by current Wayscriber versions.
[presets.slot_1.tool_settings.pen]
color = "red"
size = 3.0

[presets.slot_1.tool_settings.arrow]
color = "yellow"
size = 4.0

With ui.toolbar.show_presets = true, the top strip shows 3–5 slots between the Tools and History islands. Click a filled slot to apply it or an empty slot to save the current profile. Clear presets with their keybindings or from the legacy panel layout. Save Preset 1–5 also appear as normal searchable command-palette actions. Apply/save/clear feedback can use toast notifications. Edit simple names and defaults in the configurator; use config.toml for advanced full-profile fields.

Config profiles (file switching)

Wayscriber uses a single config file. You can simulate profiles by keeping multiple files and symlinking the one you want.

Example:

mkdir -p ~/configs
cp config.example.toml ~/configs/wayscriber-presentation.toml
cp config.example.toml ~/configs/wayscriber-recording.toml

ln -sf ~/configs/wayscriber-presentation.toml ~/.config/wayscriber/config.toml

Switch the symlink and restart Wayscriber to apply the new profile.
