Support initialization script

[StevenJL]

I love that Boostnote supports vim bindings mode. YAY!! But every time I open up Boostnote I have to run this in the console

CodeMirror.Vim.map('kj', '<Esc>', 'insert')

Is it possible to add an "initialization script" that can be used to always run the above (and other vim customizations) when the application is opened?

This is a nice feature indeed 👍

@ZeroX-DG yo bro, should i tackle this one ?
I think we should add key mapping to the preferences, then add it to CodeMirror custom mapping

@unijad It would be totally awesome if you could work on making more hotkeys configurable in the preferences. I'd suggest taking a look at this issue #2645 if you want to go that route.

Both adding an init script and adding more key remapping would solve the issue of @StevenJL , but an init script could be nice for other features. So it's probably best to keep them as separate ideas/suggestions 😄

looks neat, and if we do it as in VScode would look great and be super handy, I'll tackle it on
