# Key controls & pill legend

A fast, visual guide to the pills and controls you see in the preferences window. Scopes are ordered left → right from highest to lowest priority.

## Getting oriented

- Provider selects which package you’re setting values for. It remembers your last pick.
- Project shows the active project path (read‑only).
- Compact toggles a tighter layout for dense pages.

## Working with fields

- Tooltips: hover the i for field info; hover a pill to see details about that scope.
- Editing: click Edit… or click a pill for that scope to edit directly.
- Effective chip shows the value currently applied and where it comes from.

## Scope colors

Recognize each scope by color; these are the two main states:
Active (solid) and Overridden (outline).
