The icons beside the keys in the modification pane indicate what type of value you can enter for the key. The following list shows the possible icons and what types of values they represent.
-
Boolean key
Can be either true or false. Configuration Editor will provide a check box for this type of key.
-
Number key
Can hold numbers. These can be either integer or floating point (fractional) numbers.
-
String key
Can hold any string of text.
-
Schema key
Used for documenting other keys. The documentation for each key is provided by a separate key, typically under the /schemas directory. Users and system administrators usually will not need to work with schema keys directly.
-
List key
Lists of arbitrary length. Each element of the list must be of the same type, and one of the primitive types of boolean, number, or string.
-
Pair key
Can hold exactly two values. The two values must be one of the primitive types, but they do not have to be the same type. Currently, Configuration Editor is unable to edit pair keys.
-
Blank
Used when Configuration Editor does not understand the type of key. The blank icon is also currently used for pair keys.
