Description

Currently, the editor does not have global settings of any sort.
Some example settings could be:

- A default location where files are saved
- Global default font size (the current default, at least on MacOS is quite large)
- Whether the last opened file should be opened on startup
- Use the dark/light theme by default (I know this is not implemented yet)

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by surveying how the desktop editor currently handles saved-file locations, font defaults, startup restoration, and themes, then clarify which settings are in scope. Done should mean the selected global settings work consistently; theme support is explicitly noted as not yet implemented.
