# Settings overview

> Map the 13 entries in CC GUI Settings to the matching pages.

Settings is its own view: 13 entries on the left, a form on the right. Change theme, Node path, providers, and MCP from here.

VS Code's own settings only have 3 extension-level keys. Those are not this panel.

## General

Three subtabs.

### Appearance

* Theme: follow the IDE / light / dark
* Language: follow the IDE, or lock Chinese, English, and so on
* Font size, UI font, code font
* Chat background, user message color, chat bar color
* Diff theme

### Behavior

* Streaming
* Send shortcut
* Send the open file path
* Expand diffs by default
* Confirm before starting a new session
* Detailed output
* Task-complete notification / sound
* System notification when asking the user
* Permission and question dialog timeout (30–3600 seconds)
* Debug log (maps to `ccGui.enableDebugLog`)
* Master switch for AI-generated commit messages

### Environment

* Extension-only Node.js path (`ccGui.nodePath`)
* Claude CLI path override
* Working directory

## Usage

Shows token use, estimated cost, and trends. Cost depends on the unit prices you enter on the provider or a custom model.

## Other

* **History input completion**: suggest from history, accept with `Tab`. You can add or delete records and change importance
* **Auto-generate session titles**: after the first turn, Haiku writes a short title

## 3 keys in VS Code settings

Search `ccGui` in VS Code settings:

| Key                        | Default | What it does                                                                         |
| -------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `ccGui.nodePath`           | empty   | Node executable used only by CC GUI                                                  |
| `ccGui.autoSyncActiveFile` | `true`  | Sync the current editor file path automatically                                      |
| `ccGui.enableDebugLog`     | `false` | Write debug logs to **Output → CC GUI**, and show the Webview developer tools button |

Most options still live in CC GUI's own Settings page. These 3 keys are what the extension host needs to read early.
