The available fragments are listed at [https://gohugo.io/content-management/urls/#permalink-configuration-values](https://gohugo.io/content-management/urls/#permalink-configuration-values).

Since you want a single “category”, it _could_ be your content is structured into _sections_ (rather than a taxonomy). So you’d have `/content/tech/google-new-phone.md` and use `:section`.

No, you’ll need to understand the difference between a taxonomy (category) and a section in Hugo.

There is no config to do what you want. I was suggesting you change the structure of your files. I take that suggestion back; what you want it not currently possible without changing a lot of your content.
