Settings
Theme
Choose Auto, Light, or Dark. Auto follows your system setting.
Ask Hotkey
If you hold the Ask hotkey while clicking a link, the browser picker always opens, ignoring rules.
Choose Ctrl, Alt, or Shift from the dropdown. Choose Off to disable.
On Linux, the GNOME terminal intercepts Ctrl and Alt keypresses before they reach Linklever. Use Shift as the Ask Hotkey instead.
On Linux, reading the keyboard state requires your user to be in the input group. If the hotkey doesn’t work, run groups to check. To add yourself, run sudo usermod -aG input $USER and then log out and back in.
Default Browser
To set or unset Linklever as the default browser, click the switch next to Is Default Browser.
The steps that follow depend on your operating system.
macOS
When you click the switch, macOS shows a dialog to confirm the change. Click Use "Linklever".
Windows
Linklever opens the Default Apps page in Settings and asks you to set the default browser.
After you click the Set default button, you should see that Linklever is assigned to the http and https protocols.
Linux
Linklever uses xdg-settings to set itself as the default browser. On GNOME 46, no confirmation is required. The change is confirmed under Settings > Default Apps.

Click the switch next to Notifications to enable or disable system notifications when Linklever opens a link.

Data Folder
Choose where Linklever stores its data:

Switching does not copy data between locations. A relaunch is required after changing this setting.
