Environment variables

Override where moo keeps things and how it starts.

Variable Effect
MOO_HOTKEY Hotkey to try first, like ctrl+alt+space. Overrides Settings
MOO_CONFIG The shortcuts file (default ~/.config/moo/shortcuts.json)
MOO_PLUGINS The plugin folder
MOO_PLUGIN_DATA Where plugins' stored data goes
MOO_FRECENCY Ranking history (default ~/Library/Application Support/Moo/frecency.tsv)
MOO_SOCKET The CLI socket (default ~/Library/Application Support/Moo/moo.sock)
MOO_START_HIDDEN 1 starts without showing the launcher
MOO_DEBUG Timestamped logs on stderr
MOO_SYSTEM_DRY_RUN System commands only report what they would do

Note moo inherits the environment of whatever started it. Set variables in the shell before running moo or open -a Moo, not on a single command.
