User settings

Customize your personal Hex experience with user settings.

Preferences

On the preferences panel, you can customize Hex with options specific to you.

Behavior

• Enable AI inline completions in code cells.

• Allow cells to occupy the full width of your notebook.

• Customize word-wrap and line-wrap settings for different cell types.

• Toggle on Vim key bindings for SQL, code (Python & R), and markdown cells. This setting applies globally to all Hex Notebook views you interact with. Note that when Vim key bindings are enabled, you'll need to use shift + esc to enter into command mode.

Agent preferences

• Specify whether you want the agent default reference to be all data or endorsed assets only in Endorsed Mode.

• Customize how Hex agents respond across your projects with private, user-level instructions.

Theme

• Select your preferred color theme for Hex. The default selection will match your system's theme preference.

Notifications

Manage your notification preferences for different Hex interactions.

All email notifications are on by default. You can authenticate with your Slack account in order to customize notification preferences in Slack.

Desktop notifications

tip

Desktop notifications can be blocked by browser or operating system settings. If notifications aren't appearing:

• Browser: Check your browser's site settings for Hex
• Operating system: Make sure notifications are enabled for your browser in your system settings.

Under the desktop notification section, you can enable agent chat response notifications. When enabled, you'll receive a push notification when the agent completes a response or needs your input to proceed in an unfocused tab.

API keys

Manage the tokens you have generated to access the Hex API. This section is only visible if your Admin has enabled API access.
