Configuration

Custom Binary Paths

If Bun or QMD are installed in non-standard locations (e.g., via Homebrew), you can configure custom paths in Extension Preferences (⌘,):

• Custom Bun Executable Path: Set the full path to your Bun executable
• Custom QMD Executable Path: Set the full path to your QMD executable

To find the correct path, use which in Terminal:

which bun
which qmd

Leave these fields empty to use automatic detection (checks ~/.bun/bin and system PATH).
