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.
