# config/get
Look up a key in the global config registry. Returns the stored value, or nil if absent.
## Syntax
[config/get "key"]
## Parameters
- `"key"` — hierarchical registry key (string or keyword). Use `/` as the separator and prefix with the owning app for namespacing (e.g. `"log/max-lines"`, `"editor/font"`).
## Examples
[config/get "log/max-lines"] [config/get :log/max-lines] # keyword form
## Returns
The stored value (parsed from its stringified form), or `nil` if the key is absent. Function values are stored by name — resolve them with `[apply $name ...]`.
