Flags

Warning

This section is in progress, and is just copied from the old documentation.

You can configure flags by putting them in [flags] table. Example:

[flags]
hide_avg_cpu = true

Most of the command line flags have config file equivalents to avoid having to type them out each time:

`hide_avg_cpu`	Boolean	Hides the average CPU usage.
`dot_marker`	Boolean	Uses a dot marker for graphs.
`cpu_left_legend`	Boolean	Puts the CPU chart legend to the left side.
`current_usage`	Boolean	Sets process CPU% to be based on current CPU%.
`group_processes`	Boolean	Groups processes with the same name by default.
`case_sensitive`	Boolean	Enables case sensitivity by default.
`whole_word`	Boolean	Enables whole-word matching by default.
`regex`	Boolean	Enables regex by default.
`basic`	Boolean	Hides graphs and uses a more basic look.

`battery`	Boolean	Shows the battery widget.
`rate`	Unsigned Int (represents milliseconds) or String (represents human time)	Sets a refresh rate in ms.
`default_time_value`	Unsigned Int (represents milliseconds) or String (represents human time)	Default time value for graphs in ms.
`time_delta`	Unsigned Int (represents milliseconds) or String (represents human time)	The amount in ms changed upon zooming.
