7 min read Share

TeXposit is designed to adapt to your preferences. Access all settings via the Settings button in the bottom-right corner of the editor.

Visual Customization

Editor Themes

Choose between multiple carefully curated themes:

Dark+ (Default)
One Dark
Light Modern

Font & Layout

Font Size

Adjust from 10px to 20px. Default is 14px for optimal readability.

Font Family

Choose between Fira Code, JetBrains Mono, or system default monospace.

Font Ligatures

Enable to render multi-character operators as single glyphs: -> becomes →, == becomes ≡.

Line Height

Adjust spacing between lines from 1x to 2x for comfortable reading during long sessions.

Editing Preferences

Vim Mode

For users coming from Vim/Neovim, enable Vim keybindings to use:

  • h j k l for navigation
  • Modal editing with i for insert mode
  • : commands for actions (e.g., :wq)
  • Registers and macros for efficient editing

Auto-Save & Recompile

Auto-Save Interval

Automatically save your work every 5, 10, or 30 seconds. Set to "Never" for manual saves.

Auto-Compile on Save

Automatically trigger PDF compilation when you save. Disable for faster editing on large projects.

Helper Features

Minimap

A visual overview of your document structure appears on the right edge. Shows:

  • Document length at a glance
  • Current scroll position
  • Drag to jump to specific sections

Word Wrap

Enable line wrapping to avoid horizontal scrolling. Particularly useful on smaller screens.

Bracket Matching

Automatically highlights matching braces, brackets, and parentheses. Essential for debugging LaTeX nesting errors.

AI Integration

TeXposit's AI assistant is deeply integrated into your writing workflow. For advanced AI configuration (like using Ollama for local models or switching between different AI providers), see the AI Agent Settings tutorial and Using Ollama guide.

Note: AI model and provider selection is configured via project settings or environment setup. By default, TeXposit uses high-quality cloud AI models. For privacy or offline work, set up local Ollama models (see tutorial 12).

Pro Settings Combo

For maximum productivity:

• Enable Vim Mode + Font Ligatures for efficient navigation

• Set Auto-Save to 10s + Auto-Compile ON for live preview

• Enable Minimap + Word Wrap for long-form writing
