Configuration

require("zemac").setup({
    -- Default compile command
    compile_command = "make -k",

    -- Save all buffers before compiling
    save_before_compile = true,

    -- Window configuration
    win = {
        position = "bottom",  -- "bottom", "top", "left", "right"
        size = 15,            -- Height for bottom/top, width for left/right
    },

    -- Global keymaps (set to false to disable)
    keymaps = {
        compile = "<C-z>c",
        recompile = "<C-z>r",
        toggle = "<C-z>t",
        next_error = "<C-z>n",
        prev_error = "<C-z>p",
    },

    -- Buffer-local keymaps (set to false to disable)
    buffer_keymaps = {
        quit = "<C-z>q",
        recompile = "<C-z>r",
        run_header = "<C-z>h",
        kill = "<C-z>k",
        goto_error = "<CR>",
        history_prev = "<C-z>n",
        history_next = "<C-z>p",
    },
})
