4.0.0-canary.1

V4.0.0-canary.1 Happy New Year 2023 🎉

This is the first canary build for v4.

We're moving to json as the format for our config file. This would enable us to programatically modify the config, making things like multiple profiles, preferences UI etc. easier to implement. We also include a json schama for the config now to enable editors' intillisense.

The config location is also changed to ~/.config/Hyper/hyper.json for mac & linux, and to %APPDATA%/Hyper/hyper.json for windows. It should be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Hyper/hyper.json if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set. plugins directory would also be moved.

Your old config will be automatically migrated, except any custom code you might've added there. I'm planning to implement migration of those to a local plugin in coming releases.

The search experience has also improved a lot. New UI, highlighted results, overview ruler, case sensitivity, whole word matching and regex matching have been added.

I hope you all will give this release a try and provide feedback and report bugs.
