**Resolves #855**
**Example result upon Terminal launch:**
`WARNING: Ignored nativefier.json rewrital (Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/lib/jupyter-remote-client/resources/app/nativefier.json')`
**Behaviour:**
+ Instead of crashing, the application properly opens and is always maximized.
+ When permissions are R/W, the application is maximized on first launch and the closing states are remembered by the OS throughout launches.
nodeIntegration is required if eg. Javascript code makes use of the
`require` expression to import classes into the current scope. login.js
uses an electron import - without it, the callback mechanism does not
work, and thus the whole login functionality.
Electron seems to have changed the default value for a windows `nodeIntegration` to `false` since version 5 (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55093700/electron-5-0-0-uncaught-referenceerror-require-is-not-defined)
Without the integration, the login component's functionality is broken, though. This PR enables the nodeIntegration feature for the login window and makes it properly propagate the given credentials.
Tested with Electron 6.0.0 on Linux.
* As explained in: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8862#issuecomment-294303518
an issue with .quit() exists with a "Cannot find module '../screen'" issue,
while using the .exit() alternative avoids the issue
* Validated on Windows with the same logic as #744 where the issue recently appeared
On Linux if you try to change the keyboard layout with Alt + Shift,
the menu will pop up. Shortcuts are needed because Electron opens
the first menu on pressing `Alt` if no hotkey is assigned.

[Squirrel](https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows) is *"an installation and update
framework for Windows desktop apps "*.
This PR adds `electron-squirrel-startup`, allowing to package nativefier applications
into squirrel-based setup installers. Squirrel require this entrypoint to perform
desktop and startup menu creations, without showing the UI on setup launches.
- References: https://github.com/mongodb-js/electron-squirrel-startup
- Resolves `electron-winstaller` and `electron-installer-windows` support of desktop / startup menu shortcuts for nativefier packaged applications.
- The `electron-squirrel-startup` entrypoint has no effect on both Linux and Darwin, only on Windows
- Supporting it directly inside `nativefier` avoids having to "hack" around the existing `main.js`
and including dependencies from `electron-squirrel-startup` in an intermediate package
to be included in a third layer for the final installer executable
- The following script based on both `nativefier` and `electron-winstaller` templates
represents a portable proof of concept for this merge request :
```js
var nativefier = require('nativefier').default;
var electronInstaller = require('electron-winstaller');
var options = {

* Fix for CSS Injection not working (#703)
Issue:
When using `onHeadersReceived`, the code was passing `null` for the filters.
This appears to trigger behaviour that matches _no_ urls at all.
This results in it never being called to inject the CSS.
Fix:
Pass an empty array instead. Now it's called for all URLs.
Tests pass & linting is clean
* Fix JavaScript injection (#731)
Issue:
It appears that on low endd evices (Core m3 MacBook), the attachment to
`DOMContentLoaded` happens _after_ the event has been raised, so does
not have a chance to inject the script.
Fix:
Move the attachment to the top of the file -- before the imports. This
triggers a bunch of linting erros, so also added disablement inplace.
Additional:
Clarified when the injected JS gets loaded, and what it can assume about
the DOM.
This adds a new flag, allowing the user to define global shortcuts that trigger input events within the main window.
That way, I could easily wrap SoundCloud and Deezer to create a native app which reacts on my keyboard media buttons.
