- Add three proportional serif fonts: Crimson Pro, ET Book, Spectral - Fix text rendering for variable-width fonts: selection, cursor, mouse click mapping, search highlights, and syntax-colored text now use pixel-accurate measurement via ImGui::CalcTextSize() - Add per-buffer edit mode (code/writing) with auto-detection from file extension (.txt, .md, .rst, .org, .tex default to writing) - Add C-k m keybinding and :mode command to toggle edit modes - Switch config format from INI to TOML (kge.toml), with legacy INI fallback; vendor toml++ v3.4.0 - New config keys: font.code and font.writing for per-mode defaults - Add font tab completion for ImGui builds - Add tab completion for :mode command - Update help text, themes.md, and add CONFIG.md - Bump version to 1.10.0 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

kge Configuration
kge loads configuration from ~/.config/kte/kge.toml. If no TOML file is
found, it falls back to the legacy kge.ini format.
TOML Format
[window]
fullscreen = false
columns = 80
rows = 42
[font]
# Default font and size
name = "default"
size = 18.0
# Font used in code mode (monospace)
code = "default"
# Font used in writing mode (proportional)
writing = "crimsonpro"
[appearance]
theme = "nord"
# "dark" or "light" for themes with variants
background = "dark"

Edit Modes
kge has two edit modes that control which font is used:
- code — Uses the monospace font (
font.code). Default for source files. - writing — Uses the proportional font (
font.writing). Auto-detected for.txt,.md,.markdown,.rst,.org,.tex,.adoc, and.asciidocfiles.
Toggle with C-k m or : mode [code|writing].

Available Themes
amber, eink, everforest, gruvbox, kanagawa-paper, lcars, leuchtturm, nord, old-book, orbital, plan9, solarized, tufte, weyland-yutani, zenburn

solarized. Set background = "light" or use : background light.
Migrating from kge.ini
If you have an existing kge.ini, kge will still read it but prints a
notice to stderr suggesting migration. To migrate, create kge.toml in the
same directory (~/.config/kte/) using the format above. The TOML file
takes priority when both exist.
The INI keys map to TOML as follows:
| INI key | TOML equivalent |
|---|---|
fullscreen |
window.fullscreen |
columns |
window.columns |
rows |
window.rows |
font |
font.name |
font_size |
font.size |
theme |
appearance.theme |
background |
appearance.background |
syntax |
editor.syntax |
New keys font.code and font.writing have no INI equivalent (the INI
parser accepts code_font and writing_font if needed).
