I found the setting in the main leoSettings.leo (config folder). However, 
it makes me wonder about a bigger question.

I will of course want to add that new setting to myLeoSettings.leo, but 
since that file was created from a much older Leo version, what other 
settings might be missing that I might want or need? What's a good strategy 
to refresh the myLeoSettings.leo file with a current base while keeping my 
custom settings?
