Save settings for each “toy”

[BreeceW]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some of the tools have some options on the top. I would like it if there were a way to save settings for each tool. For example, I would always want to set the JSON formatter to use 4 spaces, but the default is 2 and it is not saved when I restart the app.

Describe the solution you'd like
I am thinking there could be a Set defaults button below the configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, you could just save the configuration automatically, but this could be annoying if you usually use one setting but need another just once.

Hello,

Thank you very much for this! It's a very fair point. I like both, the Set Default and the possibility to automatically save the selected options. I'd need to think more about it, but definitely like the suggestion.

Thank you so much. @btiteux , what do you think about?

Hello,

The set button is definitely a good idea. Thank you for the request. We would need to find the best place for it.

For the the save auto, it could be annoying if for a specific case you need to adjust the settings of a toy. Maybe we can look to add a section or button in the app settings to save all the "toys" settings at the same time.

I'm wondering: how often does a user need to change the settings, and how often does a user would like to keep them the way they are after restarting the app?
While I don't have data to answer these questions, I'm thinking that in a first implementation, just persisting the settings the way they are when closing the app is probably enough.
Thoughts?

Thanks again @BreeceW for your suggestion :) I've been with the alternative solution for now. It will be part of the next release.
