Configs

- Lexer override config: settings for single lexer only. E.g., if you open Pascal file, lexer-override for Pascal is read after user config.
- File types config: you can specify mapping between file types and lexer names. Such mapping exists in lexer-library, this config overrides it.
- Hotkeys config: hotkeys dialog allows to customize hotkeys for all program actions.
