Open VSCode settings as JSON
VSCode is fun to work with, and it’s my default code editor of choice. However there is a particular annoying thing for me, which is the default display of user and workspace settings.
TBH, that grouping display is not bad, but that confuses me every time I want to have a generic view of my editor customisation, or simply compare mine with my peers to see what’s right or wrong.
Updated 2023: You can open the settings.json file with the `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)` or `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)` command in the Command Palette (⇧⌘P)
- Open Settings screen, this is default to a “click-and-select” view that I’m not a fan of.
2. Now, look at the top right corner, and click on the tiny tiny icon with no tooltip whatsoever, it will bring you to the beloved json format of the setting.
P.S: This is as of v1.45.1 and I don’t know if this gonna change in the future.
