Where Does Lapce Store Settings and Data?
Lapce settings, plugins and session state per OS.
Last updated
Lapce keeps settings TOML, plugin installs, themes and session state in per-OS app-data folders, separate from open projects. Wiping the folder resets the editor to stock Rust speed.
Copy settings before nightly updates and plugin experiments. Plugin binaries rebuild while tuned keybinds do not.
