Configurations

At the moment, configuration files are not supported, because I'm in favor of compile-time configuration ¹, for the following reasons:

1. Easier to update
2. Running with incompatible configurations is impossible ²
3. Configuration as code
   • Free type-checking
   • Free formatting³
   • Ability to reduce duplications using functions
   • Easy backup (fork Ki-editor and push your modified config)

However, I'm open to suggestions, I might even create a new language for that.
