Mycroft-core: suggestions for cli

[el-tocino]

A :config or :configuration option, to list/show/point to the running configuration. Useful for finding odd config bits easily.

Also handy would be an option to disable audio output when queried from the CLI. (:mute?) This would theoretically be configurable as not everyone will want it to be quiet.

Lastly, a less verbose mode would be nice. Something like a :verbose option perhaps to turn on/off log display. This would NOT effect mycroft logging, just the display.

I'm about done with a standalone mycroft-config utility that does something like this:

mycroft-config:  Mycroft configuration manager
usage: mycroft-config [COMMAND] [params]

COMMANDs:
  edit (system|user)                  edit and validate config file
  reload                              instruct services to reload configs
  show (default|remote|system|user)   display the specified setting file
  set <var>                           set the variable (under USER)
  get [var]                           display a particular variable
                                      or all if no 'var' specified
Note: Use jq format for specifying <var>

Examples:
  mycroft-config edit user
  sudo mycroft-config edit system
  mycroft-config show remote
  mycroft-config get
  mycroft-config get enclosure.platform
  mycroft-config set test.subvalue "foo"

Does this sound adequate? It also wouldn't be difficult to add access to this inside the CLI if preferred.

A most welcome addition indeed.

Sounds awesome. To be completely perfect I would suggest auto-completion with double Tab to help users to navigate through the options (I mean the possible options inside the json), so:
mycrot-co[tab-tab]nfig set encl[tab-tab]osure.[tab-tab]
As you can see, the auto-complete would show all the options inside enclosure...
