Preferences & shortcuts
Application Preferences describe this installation and its operator. They never enter a Busloom project, never travel through a device definition, and never appear in Git versions of a project file. Open the page from the application menu or the command palette.
Appearance and accessibility
| Setting | Choices | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Theme | Follow system · Dark · Light | Follow system reacts to the operating-system appearance; an explicit choice remains fixed |
| Text and controls size | Compact 100% · Default 110% · Large 120% · Extra large 130% · Very large 140% · Maximum 150% | Scales type and controls together so dense tables remain aligned |
| Motion | Follow system · Reduce motion | Reduced motion stops non-essential pulses and short transitions |
Theme, scale, and motion apply to the application, not to exported evidence. A PDF or PNG report uses its own stable presentation so another operator does not receive your workstation theme or zoom choice.
Services and delivery
- License & activation
- Shows Community, trial, or Professional state; starts the trial; displays the online device code; exports an offline request; imports a signed device license.
- Software updates
- Controls the launch-time check and manual Check now action. Store builds use Microsoft Store delivery; direct builds use Busloom's signed manifest.
- Command-line interface
- Installs or removes the bundled headless launcher in a PATH location and reports whether the command is available.
- MCP
- Enables the loopback server, chooses its port, regenerates its bearer token, and controls whether device-changing tools require a visible prompt.

Click a shortcut to record a replacement. Plain printable keys are rejected unless combined with Command, Control, or Alt; function keys may stand alone. Backspace/Delete clears the selected binding, Escape cancels capture, the row reset restores one default, and Reset all restores the complete catalog. Conflicts must be resolved before a replacement is accepted.
