Implement user-configurable TUI settings

[ihabunek]

Some things which could be configurable:

• palette
• symbols for favourite, reblog & reply - some fonts might not have the default ones
• app for viewing media

An alternative implementation of opening media would be to download the media file(s) to /tmp and use xdg-open for Linux, open for Mac and start for Windows. I can help, but only if you think it would be a good solution

A simple example

def show_media(paths):
    viewer = None
    potential_viewers = [
        "xdg-open"
    ]
    for v in potential_viewers:
        viewer = shutil.which(v)
        if viewer:
            break

    if not viewer:
        raise Exception("Cannot find an image viewer")
    
    for path in paths:
        req = requests.get(path)
        if req.status_code != 200:
            continue
        tp = tempfile.mkstemp(prefix='toot-')
        with open(tp[1], 'wb') as f:
            f.write(req.content)
        subprocess.run(['xdg-open', tp[1]])
        os.remove(tp[1])

Just chiming in to say that I would appreciate an xdg integration. Also a setting for the default timeline (local, global, notifications) to be loaded on startup would be great.

Need to add more TUI config options, so leaving the issue open.
