Where Is the Nyxt Config File?
Nyxt Lisp config files under ~/.config/nyxt on Linux with init, history and bookmarks.
Last updated
Nyxt configures itself in Common Lisp from an init file in its XDG config directory, with history, bookmarks and autosaves alongside. Everything from keybinds to buffer behavior is code you can inspect.
The defaults need no file at all, so the directory may not exist until you create it. Copy the folder and the whole browser personality moves machines.
Where Nyxt stores this, by platform
~/.config/nyxt
Holds init.lisp for configuration plus history and bookmark data. Create init.lisp if missing and define settings in Lisp. Back up the folder to migrate config plus browsing state.
Frequently asked questions
How do I configure Nyxt?
Write Lisp into ~/.config/nyxt/init.lisp, for example to rebind keys or set the homepage. Restart Nyxt or evaluate the buffer to apply.
Where are Nyxt bookmarks?
In the data files next to init.lisp inside the folder above. They persist across sessions automatically.
