@ -186,6 +186,25 @@ Finally, we can use commands outside of Nu once we have the data we want:
Here we use the variable `$it` to refer to the value being piped to the external command.
## Configuration
Nu has early support for configuring the shell. It currently supports the following settings:
| Variable | Type | Description |
| ------------- | ------------- | ----- |
| path | table of strings | PATH to use to find binaries |
| env | row | the environment variables to pass to external commands |
| ctrlc_exit | boolean | whether or not to exit Nu after multiple ctrl-c presses |
| table_mode | "light" or other | enable lightweight or normal tables |
| edit_mode | "vi" or "emacs" | changes line editing to "vi" or "emacs" mode |
To set one of these variables, you can use `config --set`. For example:
```
> config --set [edit_mode "vi"]
> config --set [path $nu:path]
```
## Shells
Nu will work inside of a single directory and allow you to navigate around your filesystem by default. Nu also offers a way of adding additional working directories that you can jump between, allowing you to work in multiple directories at the same time.
