FAQ

My snippet's language is classified as "Other"

Lepton depends on GitHub API to detect the language. If it fails, the snippet's language is marked as "Other". However, we can put // vim: syntax=<your_language> at the top to explicitly specify the language.

// vim: syntax=javascript
let test = 'This is a javascript file'

Search

Shortcut: Shift + Space. Limited by GitHub API, Lepton supports searching for following fields.

What's .leptonrc and where to place it?

Proxy

Place your proxy configurations in ~/.leptonrc. Update the "address" field to your own proxy.

    "proxy": {
        "enable": true,
        "address": "socks://localhost:1080"
    }

Check out the .leptonrc template to explore more configuration options.
