Provide a GUI for users to be able to edit settings

There's quicksettings which is really cool but it lacks a key feature: inline descriptions for the settings. You can add a info panel but that's just not quite the same.

I raised an issue on their repo for inline descriptions.

In the meantime what I could do is simply use a simple codemirror instance to let users edit the settings.js file. The only catch would be I would have to validate that they didn't screw up the JSON, but that should be pretty simple to check.
