[Feature request] Add the frontmatter-like global field to settings #20

The problem

  1. All the settings are scattered around with slides, fields, toggles. There is no way to see everything at once.
  2. Not possible to copy&paste settings in one go to/from frontmatter and to/from friends and internet.
  3. Most importantly: the graphical settings do not give access to the whole variety of settings options available via frontmatter. E.g. having the dot after the last number. No matter what I try, the numbering settings are always going to be number headings: first-level 1, max 4, _.1.1, while I need number headings: first-level 1, max 4, _.1.1.. Once you know it, it's easy to change it in the frontmatter for one local file. But this setting is impossible to set up globally, to use as default when commanding to create the numbering for the active file, or to be used automatically if the automatic numbering toggle is on.

The solution

Make a new frontmatter-like global setting field that would overwrite the rest of the graphical settings, that can be copied from and pasted into.

This is a really good idea. I'll think about it.
