CLI Configuration

Goal

Use practical CLI settings without dealing with implementation details.

Prerequisites

• Keypress installed

Practical Settings

• Choose startup menu behavior:
  • KEYPRESS_STARTUP_MENU=0 to skip menu
  • KEYPRESS_STARTUP_MENU=1 to show menu
• Point to custom server/web app when needed:
  • KEYPRESS_SERVER_URL
  • KEYPRESS_WEBAPP_URL
• Use custom local Keypress folder:
  • KEYPRESS_HOME_DIR

For full variable list, see Environment Variables.

Screenshot Placeholder

• What to capture: Terminal session with one env var set for a single run (for example KEYPRESS_STARTUP_MENU=0 keypress).
• Why this screenshot matters: Shows users the safest pattern for testing configuration changes.
• Suggested filename: cli-configuration-env-example.png

Expected Result

Users can adjust common behavior quickly without editing internal files.
