You can customize many aspects of Source Insight, such as the color of the screen and the assignments of keystrokes to commands. This collection of options is called a configuration. Configurations usually contain information that rarely changes. You usually set up your configuration once when you install Source Insight and perhaps once in a while you may modify it to suit your needs or changing tastes.
A configuration contains most of the options specified on the Options menu, which include the following things:
When you quit Source Insight, the current configuration is saved in a configuration file. When Source Insight starts, it looks in a configuration file to restore the configuration of the previous session.
The configuration in effect while Source Insight is running is called the current configuration.
If a project is not open, then the name of the current configuration file is Global.CF and it is stored in your Insight directory (where you told the Setup program to install Source Insight). If a project is open, the name of the current configuration file is either <projectname>.CF or Global.CF depending on the settings in the Project Options dialog.
You can't change the name of the current configuration, but you can replace its contents with that of another configuration file on disk. After opening a configuration file, the current configuration becomes equivalent to it.
