Description

I previously had the npm-installed keybase CLI and have just switched to the brew-installed CLI. Now the new cli states that the config is under: `/Users//Library/Application Support/Keybase/config.json` whereas it was previously under `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keybase/config.json`

Is there a way to tell keybase to prefer the XDG-compliant location?

Research direction

Start with the brew-installed CLI and compare its reported /Users//Library/Application Support/Keybase/config.json path with the prior XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keybase/config.json location. Determine whether the CLI exposes a way to prefer the XDG-compliant location; done means that preference is supported and documented or the issue is answered with the supported configuration path.
