Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I use many workspaces and repos in VSCode. Dendron is not initialized in most of these workspaces. I'd like to have a globally accessible vault for general note taking and record keeping.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add commands for managing global settings and a global vault. These settings would live in dendronrc.yml. When these settings are present, Dendron will load normally even if the active workspace is not initialized for Dendron.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Here is an alternative extension that works provide globally accessible notes: https://github.com/patleeman/VSNotes This project is dead, underdeveloped, and has significantly less functionality than Dendron

Thanks @Lodrus for the suggestion.

I suppose that your preference is to work out of one editor window as opposed to multiple (i.e. your Dendron notes in one window, your code/other project in another)?

In your use-case, it does seem tedious to keep using vault-add for every different workspace you have; having some way to globally access Dendron vaults makes sense.

Yes, you're correct about my preference to work in a single VSCode window.
