Layout

Ingot uses a compact IDE layout: the editor in the middle and tool windows on stripes along the sides and bottom. Click a stripe button to open its tool window; click again to hide it. Tool windows remember their size.

Project, Commit, Git log, Terminal, Problems, Structure, Agents, MCP and more. Toggle the common ones with ⌘1–⌘9 / ⌘0 (Alt+1–Alt+0 on Windows and Linux), hide them all with ⌘⇧F12, and press Escape to jump back to the editor. See Keymap.

Light, dark or system

Choose Theme: Light, Dark or System from Find Action, the theme button on the stripe, or Settings › Appearance › Theme. System follows your operating system live. Pick custom to use any installed color theme. You can also change the zoom level and tree indent under Settings › Appearance › Layout.
