Is it that hard for addons to implement proper settings GUI dialogs in vscode? Editing json files by hand is step backwards, especially when this comes from the company which also produces (real) Visual Studio.
- tpush 7y agoWhat settings are you referring to? VSCode's settings (both main and extensions) have a GUI view. The compile_commands.json is always generated and not meant to be edited at all.
- zerr 7y agoSettings of particular extensions, e.g. Golang's. When something is explained (e.g how to add build targets) it always goes to editing some json files.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoThe settings GUI in VS Code was only added in the past year or so. So it's likely that a lot of documentation hasn't been updated to mention this. Even so, I prefer editing the JSON files directly. I can easily see what's changed from the default, add comments, and make groups of settings.
