I'm installing CodeLite on another computer and would like to bring over all my settings. What is the best way to do this? I couldn't find an "export settings" command similar to Eclipse.

Unfortunately, there is no single button that will export all.
The colour theme, you can export from settings->colurs and fonts->export button
The other settings (folding, tabs vs spaces etc etc):
Copy the files: ~/.codelite/config/codelite.xml and ~/.codelite/config/codelite.conf to the new machine (in both cases, close CodeLite before doing this)

Hi Eran, thanks for the info -- that's better than messing around with the registry like I've had to do with some programs

[1] On
Windows 10, the files "codelite.xml" and "codelite.conf" are in folder
- C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\codeLite\config
is this the correct location from which to get these files?
[2] In the above location, there are several other config files (e.g. "keybindings.conf", "build_settings.xml"). In principle, is it also safe to copy these files over to the new PC?
Thanks, Colin

Yes. The correct path is

yes and no.
Yes - keybindings.conf
No - build_settings.xml: this file contains absolute paths to the tool-chain which might not work on a different machine
