NAME

gpg-tui.toml - configuration file for gpg-tui

SYNOPSIS

The gpg-tui.toml file is a configuration file for gpg-tui. The file must be placed at one of the following locations:

$HOME/.config/gpg-tui.toml, $HOME/.config/gpg-tui/gpg-tui.toml, $HOME/.config/gpg-tui/config

It can be also specified with the --config option or $GPG_TUI_CONFIG environment variable. If the file does not exist at the appropriate location or is not provided, gpg-tui uses its default configuration settings.
