Supermail settings
Supermail's own Settings page is grouped into seven tabs — General, Reading, Inbox, Composing, Keyboard, Notifications and Account — rather than one long scroll, and only the tab you have open is mounted.
What it is
The reference for Supermail's own Settings page — the /settings route inside Supermail, not Omniscio's main Settings. Every path in this library that reads Settings → <em>tab</em> → <em>section</em> refers to this page.
This material was moved here verbatim from the Supermail page, which is capped at 40,000 characters. Nothing was removed.
Where to find it
Open Supermail, then reach Settings from the nav, or run the Settings command in the palette (Ctrl/Cmd+K). Every tab below is reached from that one page.
How it behaves
Settings: seven tabs, not one long page
Supermail's own Settings (the /settings route inside Supermail — reached from the nav,
or the Settings command in the palette) is grouped into tabs rather than the single
sixteen-section scroll it used to be. Every path in this library that reads
Settings → <em>tab</em> → <em>section</em> refers to this page, NOT Omniscio's main Settings.
| Tab | What lives there |
|---|---|
| General | Personalization (view presets, sidebar / reading pane / contact pane, hover quick actions, reading layout, replay the keyboard tour) and Confirmations (Undo toast, blank-subject warning) |
| Reading | Toolbar buttons (the three-way Shown / Menus only / Hidden control) and Triage Actions |
| Inbox | Split Inbox, Filters, AI Filtering (when revealed), Archive Insights, Contact groups |
| Composing | Sending (default send behavior + shortcut rebinding) and Snippets |
| Keyboard | Left-handed navigation, hover-to-act |
| Notifications | Desktop notifications + quiet hours, Blocked domains |
| Account | Sign out, and the Danger zone (reset account data) |
Two of those tabs hold a config list as well as toggles, and both lists live on your Supermail backend account rather than on this desktop, so they are the same ones the CLI reaches:
- Blocked domains (Notifications) — mail from a domain you add here is auto-blocked; removing the row unblocks it.
- Snippets (Composing) — reusable canned replies you insert into a message, each with optional default recipients.
Two things worth knowing:
- Only the open tab is mounted. Sections on other tabs are genuinely absent from the DOM, not hidden with CSS — so a test or a script looking for a setting must open its tab first, and opening Settings no longer wires up every store on the page.
- The tab does not persist. Settings always opens on General; the active tab is view state, not a saved preference. Escape still returns you to wherever you opened Settings from.
The strip is a real WAI-ARIA tablist: arrow keys move between tabs (wrapping at both ends), Home / End jump to the first and last, and only the selected tab is in the tab order.
