Configure a custom diff/merge/editor tool within GitKraken
As a user, I would like the ability to set the path to a custom diff, merge, and editor tool within GitKraken in order to use any tool I would like.
This will be useful because:
- GitKraken only supports a few custom tools currently.
- If a tool exists in a location that GitKraken does not see it, being able to set the path would work around this.
- This would allow the user to set different tools per profile when working with different sets of repositories that require different diff/merge/editor tools.

MatlabUserAdding the need of file type specific diff/merge tools. E.g. Matlab Simulink Models need a special diff tool for *.slx. But arbitrary text compare is still needed. Even the "git default" option specifies only one diff/merge tool for any file type.

LabVIEW UserLabVIEW (a graphical programming platform) comes with its own merge (LVMerge) and comparison (LVCompare) tools for its various files, *.vi, *.ctl, etc. TortoiseGit offers the ability to define custom tools based on file extension.

Laurence Lars LabuschNot only the path, but a specific command like it already exists for external terminal would be nice. As I and many others do use GitKraken as a Flatpak, there is no chance otherwise to launch an editor...
