Generally, invidtui will work out-of-the-box, with no configuration required.

In case you need to specify settings without using command-line options, a config file can be used.

Typing invidtui --help will show you the location of the config file.

The configuration file is in the HJSON format. You can use the –generate flag to generate the configuration.

For example:

{
  download-dir: "~/Downloads"
  ffmpeg-path: ffmpeg
  force-instance: "invidious.protokolla.fi"
  mpv-path: mpv
  num-retries: 10
  video-res: 720p
  ytdl-path: youtube-dl
  keybindings: {
      Menu: Alt+m
  }
}

#Keybindings

The keybinding configuration is a list of KeybindingType: keybinding values.

While defining keybindings, the global keybindings must not conflict with the non-global ones.
It is possible to have duplicate keybindings amongst various non-global keybindings.

For example, this is allowed:

keybindings: {
	QueuePlayMove: Alt+E
	SearchSwitchMode: Alt+E
}

But this isn’t:

keybindings: {
	Menu: Alt+m
	Dashboard: Alt+m
}

#Modifiers

The modifiers currently supported for keybindings are Ctrl, Alt and Shift. Shift should only be used in rare cases. For example, instead of :

• Shift+a, type A
• Alt+Shift+e, type Alt+E

and so on.

For the space and the ‘+’ characters, type Space and Plus respectively. For example,

keybindings: {
	PlayerInfo: Ctrl+Space
	Add: Ctrl+Plus
}

#Types

Note that some keybinding combinations may be valid, but may not work due to the way your terminal/environment handles it.

The keybinding types are as follows:
