Configuration reference

Every setting, where it lives, and what it defaults to. Settings are stored in this plugin’s data.json inside your vault — see Privacy and security.

Settings → AI Editor has seven tabs: Backends, Editors, Panels, Actions, Voice & style, Rules, Behavior.

Behavior tab

Setup

Setting	Type	Default	What it does
Setup wizard	button	—	Re-opens the guided setup. Nothing is saved until the last step.

Runs

Daemon

Setting	Type	Default	Range	What it does

Idle delay (seconds)	int	3	1–600	Only shown while daemon mode is on. Any interaction restarts the clock — typing, moving the cursor, triaging, using the panel or a card; only an actual edit arms a refresh
