# Settings

> Every settings tab, its controls, and their defaults

The settings window is app-wide: a value on any of these eleven tabs holds for every connection you open. `Cmd+,` opens it; what belongs to one connection is in that connection's form instead.

Three tabs are not in the table. Stock keyboard chords are on [Keyboard Shortcuts](/features/keyboard-shortcuts), and neither the Plugins nor the License tab holds a value of its own.

## Where settings live

The file is `~/Library/Preferences/com.TablePro.plist`. **Reset All Settings to Defaults** on the General tab puts every tab back to its stock value after a confirmation, and that includes emptying the AI provider list. Saved connections, query history, and MCP tokens survive it.

Two settings have no control in the window:

| Setting | Command |
| - | - |
| Custom plugin registry | `defaults write com.TablePro com.TablePro.customRegistryURL <url>` |
| Clear custom registry | `defaults delete com.TablePro com.TablePro.customRegistryURL` |

See [Plugin Registry](/development/plugin-registry#custom-registry-url) for what a private registry has to serve.
