Allow enable/disable via settings?

[asford]

This appears to be the de-facto extension for jupyterlab 3.0, at least until jupyterlab/jupyterlab#9068 lands. Would you be open adding settings-support in repo, so that this end-users can (at least) enable/disable the extension?

I would be happy to implement as a PR if you're open.

Work items:

• Add settings support via https://github.com/jupyterlab/extension-examples/tree/master/settings.
• Add enable/disable flag under settings. Ie. Add ability to disable plugin via settings jwkvam/jupyterlab-vim#112
• Update esc behavior under settings. Ie. ryantam626@0fd95cf and asford/jupyterlab-vim@e02fd37

Sure, you can implement those features if you want. However, it might be duplicated work if the extension lands directly with jupyterlab.

I haven't had time to work on moving it into jlab and unfortunately may not for a while yet. So

1. If anyone wants to push that work on jlab forward they should feel free to (also welcome to ping me for reviews)
2. A short term fix for this would make sense
3. What should probably happen is that jupyterlab-vimrc should be folded into this repo in order to have only a single settings file for all vim related things.

This has been implemented in #32

I thought users can use jupyter server extension enable/disable to enable/disable an extension? However, it seems that the command doesn't work with jupyterlab-vim.

Is there a way to disable jupyterlab-vim for all users? I want to install the extension but keep it disabled by default since not all users are familiar with vim keybindings.

Never mind. I figured out that the right command to use is jupyter labextension disable @axlair/jupyterlab_vim instead of jupyter labextension disable jupyterlab_vim.
