Similar to #1426 and would be blocked by #3294, I can get behind this however, once #3294 is implemented.

While this can be a per-user basis, adding a new default global configuration options would also help to change global behaviors. currently, default is JSON without any option to configure in configuration.py.

A per-user toggle for this would be sufficient. We want to avoid clogging up the global configuration with niche toggles.
