Where Does Notepadqq Store Settings on Linux?
Notepadqq stores settings in ~/.config/Notepadqq/Notepadqq.ini on Linux, with unsaved tabs cached in tabCache beside it.
Last updated
Notepadqq follows the plain XDG layout. Settings live in Notepadqq.ini inside ~/.config/Notepadqq, and that single folder is the whole backup story.
Unsaved work gets its own corner: open tabs persist to ~/.config/Notepadqq/tabCache on exit when the option is enabled. Pull the plug before an exit and anything since the last quit is gone, so the tab cache is a convenience, not a backup.
Where Notepadqq stores this, by platform
~/.config/Notepadqq/Notepadqq.ini
Quit Notepadqq before touching this folder. Shortcuts, toolbar state and recent files all live in the INI; unsaved tab contents sit in the tabCache subdirectory.
Frequently asked questions
Notepadqq is broken and reinstalling does not help. What now?
With Notepadqq closed, delete or rename ~/.config/Notepadqq. It regenerates defaults on next launch. Reinstalling alone never fixes anything, because the package manager leaves that folder in place.
I installed Notepadqq as a snap. Where is its config?
Under ~/snap/notepadqq/current/.config/Notepadqq/, with tabCache in the same spot. Snap confinement gives it a private home, so the normal ~/.config path stays empty.
