Is there a way to increase the font size of the Stash command line? Thanks

The default font size is 12 for iPhone and 14 for iPad. To change the font size to 18 for an example, issue the following commands in StaSh:

touch $STASH_ROOT/.stash_config

edit $STASH_ROOT/.stash_config

The second command opens up a file for edit, enter the following text:

[display]
TEXT_FONT_SIZE=18

Now restart StaSh and the new font size will take effect.

@ywangd Wow, what other config options are available for stash?

Here is a full list of config options and their default values:

[system]
rcfile=.stashrc
py_traceback=0
py_pdb=0
input_encoding_utf8=1
ipython_style_history_search=1
thread_type=ctypes

[display]
TEXT_FONT_SIZE=12
BUTTON_FONT_SIZE=14
BACKGROUND_COLOR=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
TEXT_COLOR=(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
TINT_COLOR=(0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
INDICATOR_STYLE=white
HISTORY_MAX=50
BUFFER_MAX=150
AUTO_COMPLETION_MAX=50
VK_SYMBOLS=~/.-*|>$'=!&_"\?`

Some potentially useful options are:
* py_traceback Print full trace information for errors
* py_pdb Drop the user into a pdb shell when error is encountered (good for debug)
* TINT_COLOR Cursor color
* BUFFER_MAX Maximum number of lines to keep on the screen
* VK_SYMBOLS The symbol buttons available in the virtual key row

Currently any persistent changes to the configuration can only done via manually editing the configuration files (default to .stash_config or stash.cfg under stash installation root folder). I haven't got time to make an UI for the config options. But it is on my todo list.

Thank you very much.

What is the best/safe way to close the .stash_config file after finishing the edit?

It seems to me that Pythonista saves files opened in editor automatically when you perform any non-editing actions, e.g. close the file, swipe to console, swipe to file browser, launch editor actions. Essentially any changes will be just saved. You can simply re-launch stash after finish typing.

Great explanation, thanks a lot

PS. I am new to Pythonista, great software by the way

Is there a way in Stash to hide the keyboard (1 row), I am using and external keyboard, thanks

There is currently no way to hide the virtual key row without changing the source code. It is a legacy behavior from when we had no true external keyboard support. It is indeed no longer necessary. I'll make the changes later.
