Profiles and Presets

Tool presets (quick slots)

Presets let you save the current drawing profile and switch instantly. Newly saved presets capture the selected tool plus the full per-tool settings profile: colors, sizes, fill, marker opacity, text background, eraser settings, arrow settings, status-bar preference, and drag bindings.

Older presets that only contain tool, color, and size still load with the legacy behavior.

Defaults:

• Apply preset 1-5 with keys 1 to 5
• Save preset 1-5 with Shift+1 to Shift+5

Configure them in config.toml:

[presets]
slot_count = 5

[presets.slot_1]
name = "Red pen"
tool = "pen"
color = "red"
size = 3.0

# Optional full profile saved by current Wayscriber versions.
[presets.slot_1.tool_settings.pen]
color = "red"
size = 3.0

[presets.slot_1.tool_settings.arrow]
color = "yellow"
size = 4.0

The presets section can be shown in the side toolbar and can display apply/save/clear toasts. Edit simple names and defaults in the configurator; use config.toml for advanced full-profile fields.

Config profiles (file switching)

Wayscriber uses a single config file. You can simulate profiles by keeping multiple files and symlinking the one you want.

Example:

mkdir -p ~/configs
cp config.example.toml ~/configs/wayscriber-presentation.toml
cp config.example.toml ~/configs/wayscriber-recording.toml

ln -sf ~/configs/wayscriber-presentation.toml ~/.config/wayscriber/config.toml

Switch the symlink and restart Wayscriber to apply the new profile.
