# CotEditor is sandboxed — CotEditor/CotEditor.entitlements sets

# com.apple.security.app-sandbox — so everything below resolves inside its

# container rather than straight under ~/Library.

# CotEditor/Sources/Setting Managers/SettingFileManaging.swift:

# applicationSupportDirectory(component:) is ".applicationSupportDirectory"

# with "CotEditor" and then a per-manager subdirectory appended, and

# userSettingDirectoryURL is that path — "The user setting directory URL in

# Application Support". The subdirectory names come from the managers

# themselves: "Syntaxes" (SyntaxManager.swift), "Themes" (ThemeManager.swift)

# and "Replacements" (ReplacementManager.swift), so the CotEditor directory is

# listed whole rather than one subdirectory at a time.

# Everything in the settings window — appearance, the format defaults, the key

# bindings KeyBindingManager loads — is UserDefaults, which for a sandboxed app

# is the plist inside the container.
