Settings

Open with Open twinny settings (the gear icon in the sidebar) or search for twinny in VS Code settings. Providers, devices and the workspace index are configured in the sidebar rather than here; see Providers and Workspace index.

General

Setting	Default	Description
twinny.enabled	true	Turns the extension on or off. Enable twinny and Disable twinny in the command palette flip it
twinny.locale	en	Language of the sidebar UI: en, zh-CN, zh-HK, de, es, es-CL, ja, fr, it, pt, ru, ko, nl
twinny.temperature	0.2	Randomness of the model’s output for chat and completion. Lower is more deterministic
twinny.enableLogging	true	Writes one line per request to the Twinny output channel: model, timing, size and why it stopped. Set the channel’s log level to Debug to also see prompts and replies. Warnings and errors are written even when off
twinny.githubToken	""	Personal access token for listing and reviewing GitHub pull requests in private repositories
twinny.providerStorageLocation	globalState	Where provider configurations live. globalState is VS Code’s global state; file is a file in the extension’s global storage, which survives changing remotes or containers

Code completion

Setting	Default	Description
twinny.autoSuggestEnabled	true	Suggest as you type. When off, request a suggestion with Alt+\
twinny.enabledLanguages	{ "*": true }	Languages to complete in, by VS Code language id, e.g. { "*": true, "markdown": false }
twinny.debounceWait	300	Milliseconds of quiet before a suggestion is requested
twinny.contextLength	100	Lines before and after the cursor sent in the prompt
twinny.multilineCompletionsEnabled	true	Allow suggestions of more than one line
twinny.maxLines	40	Longest multi-line suggestion
twinny.numPredictFim	512	Token budget per completion request. -1 for no limit; twinny still stops at a sensible boundary
twinny.recentEditsEnabled	true	Include your last few changes, in any open file, as short diffs. Up to 6 changes and 2,500 characters
twinny.lspContextEnabled	true	Include matching IntelliSense symbols and the current call’s signature. Up to 20 items, 2,000 characters, 150 ms wait
twinny.fileContextEnabled	false	Include snippets from neighbouring open files. Experimental; costs latency
twinny.completionCacheEnabled	false	Cache suggestions for identical prompts
twinny.enableSubsequentCompletions	true	Request another suggestion straight after one is accepted

Chat and review

Setting	Default	Description
twinny.numPredictChat	512	Maximum tokens in one chat answer
twinny.reviewMaxDiffChars	16000	Characters of diff per code-review request. Larger reviews are split into parts

Workspace index

Setting	Default	Description
twinny.embeddingIgnoredGlobs	[]	Extra glob patterns to skip when indexing, e.g. **/*.md or **/fixtures/**. Only source, config and documentation files are indexed to begin with
twinny.embeddingUpdateOnSave	true	Re-embed a file when it is saved and forget it when deleted, once the workspace has been indexed

Chunk sizes, the rerank threshold, the snippet count and automatic use are set in the Embeddings tab of the sidebar.

Ollama

Used for listing models in the provider form and device cards, and for the Ollama this machine shares with paired devices.

Setting	Default	Description
twinny.ollamaHostname	0.0.0.0	Hostname of the local Ollama. 0.0.0.0 is treated as localhost
twinny.ollamaApiPort	11434	Port of the local Ollama
twinny.ollamaUseTls	false	Use HTTPS to reach Ollama
twinny.keepAlive	5m	How long Ollama keeps a model loaded after a request: 5m, 1h, or -1 for indefinitely

Devices (P2P)

Setting	Default	Description
twinny.p2pPort	49737	UDP port this computer listens on when sharing its Ollama. Allow it through the firewall, e.g. sudo ufw allow 49737/udp. Takes effect the next time sharing starts

Settings chosen in the sidebar

These are stored by twinny rather than in settings.json:

Where	What
Providers tab	The providers, which one is active per job, paired devices, whether this computer is sharing
Embeddings tab	Chunk sizes, rerank threshold, snippet count, use-the-index-for-every-message
Manage templates	Which templates appear as chat suggestions

Per-workspace overrides

All twinny.* settings can be set at the workspace level in .vscode/settings.json, for example to disable suggestions in a documentation repository:

{
  "twinny.autoSuggestEnabled": false,
  "twinny.embeddingIgnoredGlobs": ["**/generated/**"]
}
