# There is no platform branch — micro builds the same path on Windows — so

# ~/.config/micro/ is the only spelling. `help options` says the same:

# "Micro uses $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME as the configuration directory. If this

# environment variable is not set, it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro instead."

# The directory holds settings.json, bindings.json, init.lua and the user's

# own colorschemes/ and syntax/ files.

paths = ["~/.config/micro/"]

# Everything micro generates for itself inside that directory:

# - plug/ is where `> plugin install` checks plugins out

# (`help plugins`: "Plugins are stored in ~/.config/micro/plug").

# - buffers/ holds cursor positions, undo history and the command history

# (`help options`, savecursor / savehistory: "~/.config/micro/buffers/",

# "Information is saved to ~/.config/micro/buffers/history").

# - backups/ is the crash-recovery copy of every open buffer

# (`help options`, backup: "Backups are stored in ~/.config/micro/backups").

secret = []

# No machine_lines: colorscheme, tab width, key bindings and syntax overrides

# are the preferences a user wants everywhere. `backupdir` is the one path-like

# option, and it is empty by default and relative when set, so it is left to

# the consumer rather than guessed at here.
