Just use vscode and remotes. Zero hassle and zero friction - just fire up and start coding. It is seamless. I use it on windows, Debian, macos and even Chromebooks and don't have to worry about any kind of syncing. It just works It has a built in settings sync thing, but as a general rule I strongly strongly avoid the use custom settings (in anything) to avoid the issue you are facing. There is in my experience a huge productivity gain to be had by just being pragmatic and using (and knowing) defaults in everything you use frequently, and not being a useless prima dona if your custom key bindings are missing from every single machine you need to use each day/week/month/year. We jump around servers and computers frequently, so I find it is easiest and most productive to just go with the flow and use the defaults so I can be working immediately as soon as I SSH into a new host or am given a new laptop to use for a 3 week long contract or whatever.
