Add option to keep REGEDIT=1 between game starts

System Information

• SteamTinkerLaunch version: 12.12
• Distribution: Fedora Workstation 40

Feature Description

Currently the REGEDIT flag resets itself to REGEDIT=0 on every game start as detailed here. It would be convenient to be able to opt out of this behavior and keep REGEDIT=1 between game starts so that $SteamAppId.reg was applied at every start.

As an example of why this would be useful, I play Elite: Dangerous with a HOTAS that has to be configured to map it as a WINEHID device rather than an XINPUT device (see here). Steam periodically decides to undo this configuration (unsure as to why / under what circumstances 🤷🏻‍♂️), so I need to re-apply this every so often.

The configuration is likely undone whenever Steam has to re-create the prefix, which can happen with even minor Proton revisions (i.e. going from something like 9.0-2a to 9.0-2b -- No idea if these are actual versions, just examples).

I think an option like this makes sense. No ETA on when I will implement it, but makes sense to me.

Also, for the record, your SteamTinkerLaunch version is incredibly out-of-date. You might want to switch to using the latest master branch to stay up-to-date. v12.12 is from March 2023, and there have been a lot of changes since then.

I suppose that's what I get for blindly checking out the latest tag 🙃
