Add a new optional launch arg ,
--login <username>
, that allows a user to specify which account they want to start Chatterino logged in as. If an account with the supplied username does not exist, then it starts anonymous. This arg is essentially equivalent to modifyingcurrent
insettings.json
before launch.I tried to implement similar to how channel args are applied in
WindowManager
by applying the username inTwitchAccountManager
, but I don't know if it would be preferred to elevate it toAccountController
instead. I did not implement the platform specificity that thechannel
andactivate
options have.I don't know if this is worth noting, but a side effect is that if the user never switches accounts, the
current
saved insetting.json
will be set to whatever username they provided.
