Never mind. I've found all the Lazarus user setting files. They all
are in the "/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local/lazarus". The "AppData" is a
hidden folder, make sure you enable "Hidden Items" option in the File
Explorer. So, I just zipped the folder and saved it somewhere else. If
I broke my Lazarus setting, I simply delete the folder and restore
from the zip file. Simple and easy.
On Windows (which stores this in /Appdata) you don't need to show hidden files - you can just type %AppData%\ in the explorer address bar, same as when using the commandline. This will take you directly to the Appdata folder, and while AppData itself is hidden, all its content are not.
You can further, obviously, use it as part of a full filename in both eplorer and commandline, such as:
%AppData%\Lazarus\myfile.txt
Note that depending on the Windows setup and logged-in user level, the direct reference to %AppData% might land you in the "....\appdata\roaming" folder in stead of /local - to remedy that, it's best to specify the path with an "Up-Dir" prefix ".." to indicate the actual parent appdata directory, so to get to a file in the Lazarus subdir in "Local", this will be the best method, it doesn't matter which subdir of appdata you land in, it will go up-one and then to local always:
%AppData%\..\Local\
or for a file:
%AppData%\..\Local\Lazarus\somefile.txt
PS: I'm not used to typing Windows paths, had to go back and change all the slashes to backslashes, so if I missed one, please adjust accordingly.
