Location of natlink files, like natlink.ini #187

I think we would be smart to use [platformdirs] https://pypi.org/project/platformdirs/ to locate files for natlink, such as config files etc.

We good also to have a way to locate this folder from a grammar or package like natlink, that would also work if the same package were running under talon or some other system (if we can decouple unimacro from natlink for example).

Please elaborate, but I cannot grasp the implications right now...

platformdirs is now in the dependencies list of natlinkcore. For the config purposes it is not used, as it only "~" (\users\username) is needed, or a directory specified with env variable NATLINK_SETTINGSDIR which should hold a ".natlink" directory.

But platformdirs can be used in other places.
