House Cleaning

RFC 23: Consolidate Configurations (Private)

Dendron configuration can be overwhelming - we are working on making it less so by consolidating configuration by function via a gradual rollout. This week, we are migrating all command related options to their own namespace. We will migrate the remaining configuration over the new few weeks. This should be transparent to you as an end user - a backup of your current configuration will be created before migrating .

In Greenhouse talks, Dendron community members share the fruits of their learning. This may include showcasing workflows, tooling setups, systems, and other topics in personal knowledge management, but also anything that the speaker has in-depth knowledge of that may be of interest to the wider community.

All talks are recorded and made available on YouTube after the fact.

Recording: https://youtu.be/8KxXZ6DPtXA
Pull request: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/pull/1526
During the talk, we had an issue where the debugger was exiting early. this was because of the default jest timeout. Adding jest.timeout(100000); below the test fixes the issue
```
test(foo, ()=> {
    jest.timeout(100000);
});
```

Link: Hey Siri, what happened?

Personally, I find few things as frustrating as trying to get Siri to understand me. Voice recognition is one of those things were the difference between 95% and 99% accuracy matters.
