Context

First of I want to congrats the creator because this is an awesome extension and it has become an integral part of my workflow, hence I can't even imagine working without it.

Recently I developed an extension for the registerInlineQuery to consult the Merrian-Webster dictionary, the access to the API is restricted by a token. Hence in order to query the API you must include the token in some way.

I would love to have the ability to store some sensible values and when the extension is loaded that those values get substituted "automagically".

You can create some variable under runtime.conf and use it later in your snippets, such as

runtime.conf.myApiToken = "test_token";
mapkey('<Alt-f>', 'show my api token', function() {
    Front.showBanner(runtime.conf.myApiToken);
});
