Hugin's Desk — Configuration Manager

Your command launcher and mod settings, one shortcut away.

Hugin's Desk brings Spotlight search, browser-style mod tabs and config profiles into Valheim. Find a command, run it with its arguments or jump straight to a mod setting from a compact keyboard-driven launcher.

Press F1 for the full workspace, or Backtick / ё for Spotlight while playing. Your workspace picks up where you left off, even after restarting Valheim.

Spotlight — your command launcher for Valheim

Press one key. Type what you need. Hit Enter. Spotlight brings vanilla commands, registered commands from your installed mods and mod settings into a single search, right inside the game.

Open it with Backtick / ё and type in English. Search by command name, description, mod name or setting section. Suggestions update as you type, with fuzzy matching for partial names and small typos. Enter runs the selected command and returns you to the game, or opens an inline value editor inside Spotlight.

• Keep the arguments you type. Numbers stay attached to suggested commands; matching a command name preserves its following positional arguments.
• Find settings across your mods. Search includes advanced entries, respecting the mod author's visibility settings. Edit the value right inside Spotlight and press Enter or Save. Server locks, allowed values and ranges remain respected.
• See where a result comes from. Source labels distinguish Valheim and mod commands; mod results show their package icon, with a monogram when an icon is unavailable.
• Stay on the keyboard. Navigate suggestions, recall previous commands and complete a result without reaching for the mouse. A compact help bubble keeps the controls beside the search.

Type	Spotlight result
fly 20	Run fly 20, with the numeric argument retained
spaw Wood 10	Suggest spawn Wood 10, preserving the item and quantity
A setting name, description, section or mod name	Find matching settings and edit them inside Spotlight

Control	Action
Backtick / ё	Open Spotlight
↓ / ↑	Select a result
↑ above the first result	Recall previous commands
↓ in history	Move toward the newest command, then restore your draft
Tab	Complete the selected result
Enter	Run a command or edit a setting
Esc / Backtick	Close Spotlight

PoV attribute shorthand. With a compatible Path of Valheiman installed, type +500 hea for +500 maximum health, +20% hea for 20% increased maximum health, or x1.5 hea for a 1.5× maximum-health multiplier. Tab completes the selected result into an executable hd_pov_affix command. These use PoV’s existing session affixes; hd_pov_affix list lists them and hd_pov_affix remove <index> removes one. Unsupported forms and retired attributes are excluded. No PoV files are modified.

Spotlight shares persistent command history with the integrated console and initializes devcommands automatically. Commands retain the game's server permissions. Chat, the native console and focused text/keybind editors keep their normal input.

Screenshots show the interface under its previous name, TRXTR Config.

A workspace that remembers you

Open mods in browser-style tabs and arrange them however you like. Keep different mods side by side, or open multiple sections of the same mod in separate tabs.

Your tabs, their order, searches, selected sections and scroll positions are remembered between sessions. Close the game today and return to the same workspace tomorrow.

• Familiar browser controls: new tabs, close and reopen, tab cycling, numbered shortcuts, back and forward.
• Mouse and trackpad support: middle-click to open or close tabs, drag to reorder, side buttons for history and horizontal scrolling for navigation where supported.
• Clear navigation: mod icons, vertical settings sections and collapsible groups. Collapse the mod list to a slim icon column when you want more space.

Find it. Change it. Keep it handy.

• Search across your mods by name, setting, section, description or value. Selecting matching sidebar mods keeps your query, including when opening a result in a new tab.
• Favorites keep the settings you use most within easy reach.
• Useful filters help you find changed settings, keybinds and advanced options.
• Undo and redo let you step back through setting edits with Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.
• Reset controls restore a single setting or the visible settings of a mod to their defaults.
• Descriptions on demand: click the small ⓘ beside a field for its explanation, range and default value.
• Comfortable editing: toggles, sliders, precise value entry, dropdowns, keybinds and a detailed editor for more complex settings.

Config profiles, right in the game

Keep different sets of mod settings for different ways to play. Create a building setup, a harder adventure or a profile for testing, then switch from the selector at the top of the window.

Create, rename, duplicate, edit and delete profiles without leaving Valheim. See what will change before applying one. Save your edits when you are happy with them; the manager prompts you about unsaved profile changes before switching away.

Need to go back? Restore the settings from before the last switch. Your tabs and window preferences stay separate from your config profiles.

In-game console

Open the built-in game console to run Valheim and mod commands alongside your settings. Command suggestions, descriptions, completion, output and history are all in one place. Your command draft and history are remembered too.

Enter runs a command; Ctrl+Enter runs it and closes Hugin’s Desk. Tab completes it, and ↑ / ↓ browse your command history while keeping the input focused. Reopening the configuration window with the console open focuses its input automatically. On the first console opening per game session, devcommands is applied automatically unless already enabled. Opening this drawer enables Valheim's console for the current game session; no -console launch option is needed. Developer commands from this drawer work after the automatic devcommands initialization, without a separate confirmcheats step. Commands follow the game's normal permissions. Valheim restricts commands such as fly to the host/local world unless a server mod provides permission.

Make it feel right

• Minimal graphite design with soft corners and a compact layout.
• Live transparency control in the main window, plus interface scaling and compact rows.
• Move the window by dragging any empty background area. Its position is remembered.
• Click outside to return to the game, or close with F1 / Esc. Character controls are blocked while you work by default.
• Mod page shortcuts lead to available Thunderstore, Nexus or Hexium pages, with a search option when a direct link is unavailable.
• English and Russian interface, with an organized in-game Help guide for features and shortcuts.
• A config file editor for the times you need to work with a file directly.

Get started

1. Install Hugin's Desk and its required dependencies with your mod manager.
2. Disable your previous configuration manager so only one is active.
3. Start Valheim and press F1.

Ordinary setting edits apply immediately; some mods require a restart. Server-controlled settings remain protected. Config profiles change settings, not which mods are installed. Switching a profile clears the individual edit history; use Before last switch to restore the previous setup. The world can keep running while the manager is open.

Pause while configuring

In Settings, enable Pause when opened to pause the game automatically while Hugin’s Desk is open. Closing the window resumes a pause started by Hugin’s Desk; a pause from the game menu is preserved. Changes take effect immediately and are saved for future launches. Available only when Valheim permits pausing. The checkbox is off by default.

The console command list shows all registered game and mod commands when the input is empty. Scroll the right-hand list to see more; typing filters by command name or description. Suggested first arguments also scroll without a six-result limit. Listing a command does not grant permission to execute it.
