Configuration file

The configuration files are searched first in %IDADIR%\cfg, then in %IDAUSR%\cfg.

See documentation about the IDAUSR environment variable.

In the configuration files, you can use C,C++ style comments and include files. If no file is found, IDA uses default values. IDA uses the following configuration files:

IDA.CFG    - general config file
IDATUI.CFG - text mode interface config file
IDAGUI.CFG - graphics mode interface config file

In the IDATUI.CFG, you can define the hotkeys and keyboard macros for the text version of IDA. Syntax:

       "ActionName" = Value

where value may be:

       a string:       "Ctrl-F5"
       a char:         'F'
       a scancode:     0x4900
       zero:           0

Zero scancode disables the hotkey.

To define the keyboard macros:

    MACRO key { key1 key2 key3 ... keyN }

where key is a string (key name), char or a scancode. Example:

       MACRO   "Alt-W" // this sample macro jumps to "start" label
       {
               "Ctrl-G"
               's' 't' 'a' 'r', 't'
               "Enter"
       }
