Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: macOS 10.13.6
- Hyper.app version: 2.0.0 (homebrew)
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: NA
- Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): NA
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes/NA
Issue
Generally speaking it's really unfortunate that so many tools just blindly dump random configuration in a user's home directory. Some tools (fish, kakoune, neovim) have started to adopt ~/.config as an alternative. Please consider moving ~/.hyper.js to ~/.config/hyper/config.js. ~/.hyper_plugins should also be moved to ~/.config/hyper/plugins. I'm sure I could handle making the change if it would be welcome.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Hyper locates and loads ~/.hyper.js and ~/.hyper_plugins. Check the related configuration and plugin-loading entry points, then verify that configuration is read from ~/.config/hyper/config.js and plugins from ~/.config/hyper/plugins. The requested locations are the completion criteria.
