What & why

File and browser preferences were split between General and Links, and the click-action rows were difficult to scan. Group them by the surface they control:

  • Replace Links with Files & Editor, organized into Editing, Opening files, and Opening folders. Move Auto Save and the legacy file-open mode from General.
  • Consolidate URL, port, Page, and legacy in-app browser behavior under Browser, alongside its homepage and import settings.
  • Use the bordered, divided rows already present in Keyboard and Appearance, with wider selectors that show the full action label.
  • Update sidebar navigation, command-palette entries, Settings search, and all translations. Preserve saved preference keys and redirect /settings/links to /settings/files.

How I tested it

Actual app screenshots and detailed evidence

  • Passed bun run lint, bun run typecheck (42 tasks), bun run check:i18n, and bun run check:plugins.
  • Passed all 18 settings-search tests, including updated Auto Save section expectations.
  • Drove this worktree's Electron app over CDP: opened Files & Editor, Browser, and General; searched for Auto Save; changed Auto Save to After delay, navigated away and back to confirm persistence, then restored Off; confirmed a fresh load of the old Links URL redirects.
  • bun run test failed with 34 desktop Git/worktree and shell-environment test failures. Examples include empty Git rev-parse output during fixture setup and missing shell environment variables. These areas are outside this change. The full suite is not claimed to pass.
  • V1 rendering and actual file-saving behavior were not tested.

Checklist

  • PR title follows conventional commits (type(scope): subject)
  • bun run lint and bun run typecheck pass (CI fails on lint warnings too)
  • "Allow edits from maintainers" is checked on fork PRs (same-repository branch)

Summary by cubic

Groups desktop settings by the surface they control. Replaces the Links page with Files & Editor and moves browser-related preferences under Browser.

Behavior changes

  • Auto Save and file-open mode moved from General to Files & Editor.
  • URL, port, and Page click behavior plus the in-app browser toggle now live under Browser.
  • /settings/links redirects to /settings/files; saved preference keys are unchanged.

Refactors

  • Rows now use the bordered divided style from Keyboard and Appearance, with wider selectors.
  • Updated sidebar navigation, command palette entries, settings search, and all translations.

Written for commit 3dec0fd. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a “Files & Editor” settings section with controls for auto-save, file and folder opening behavior, and link handling.
    • Added browser settings for opening links in the in-app browser and configuring how URL, port, and page links open.
  • Updates
    • Moved link-related settings from the separate Links section into Files & Editor and Browser settings. The previous Links route now redirects to Files & Editor.
    • Refined the appearance and layout of link-handling controls.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Settings navigation replaces the Links section with Files & Editor. File and folder preferences appear in Files settings, while URL, port, page, and in-app link preferences appear in Browser settings. Search categories, translations, and the former Links route are updated.

Changes

Settings organization and preference categories

Layer / File(s) Summary
Section routing and preference categories
apps/desktop/src/renderer/commandPalette/modules/settings/commands.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/settings/..., apps/desktop/src/renderer/stores/settings-state.ts, packages/i18n/locales/*/messages.po
The Links section becomes Files & Editor. Settings routes and search categories are updated, and the former Links route redirects to Files. Locale catalogs add and remove the related labels.
Files preference controls
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/settings/files/...
The Files page adds auto-save, file open-mode, and file, sidebar, and folder link controls. Visibility follows the settings search results.
Browser preference controls
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/settings/browser/..., apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/settings/components/LinkTierMapper/LinkTierMapper.tsx
Browser settings add an in-app link-opening switch and URL, port, and page link controls. Link tier layouts use bordered containers and revised spacing.

Remove the stale “Settings → Links” destination.

unboundHint() is shared by file, folder, and URL links. It must not name only one settings section. Remove the obsolete section from the source message and regenerate the locale catalogs, including the pt-BR entry.

git diff --check.

* chore: log weekly docs update follow-ups

* docs: tighten review findings in the weekly update

Only the page creator can stop or add listening agents. On focus change also
saves on window blur, and Auto Save pauses on conflicts. Taken-down pages do
not unfurl. Model picker coverage matches agent-models.ts.
