Where Does fman Store Settings and Themes?
fman keeps settings JSON and themes in per OS app data folders, with plugins beside them.
Last updated
fman stores Settings.json, key bindings, themes, and third party plugins in its user data folder. The spot follows each OS: Roaming AppData on Windows, Application Support on macOS, ~/.config/fman on Linux. Defaults ship inside the app package.
Copy the user folder to migrate shortcuts and themes. Plugin APIs shifted between fman versions, so reinstall plugins from their sources after moving. Exact filenames are stable enough to cherry pick, but whole folder copy is safer.
Where fman stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Roaming\fman
Settings.json, keymap, themes, and plugins. Back up whole folder. Reinstall plugins after major version jumps.
~/Library/Application Support/fman
Same layout as Windows. Library is hidden in Finder. Copy with fman closed to avoid half written JSON.
~/.config/fman
Same files under XDG config. Plugin compatibility varies by distro Python, so test each plugin after migration.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up fman shortcuts?
Copy the user data folder for your OS, which holds Settings.json and the keymap. Restore to the matching path and restart fman to verify.
Where do fman plugins go?
Into the plugins area of the same user folder. Reinstall rather than copy when Python versions differ between machines.
