@sandy081 Would it be possible to add "Add ability to extend from other settings files" (#15909) to the proposals list? 😃

@maxdeviant Main focus of this item is to improve the existing configuration space. I would not add things beyond this scope. We already provide extensibility of settings through extensions. So we need to see what more this will add. Please constraint the discussion about this in its item. Thanks.

@chrmarti This is the plan item for exploring workbench configurations. Following list of things were prototyped till now

  • Introducing actions to copy/select settings in Default Settings editor
  • Introducing a settings related filter in Default Settings editor. This would only show matched settings upon filter.
  • Inline Default settings in Settings editor with above functionality
  • Quick pick functionality for adjusting settings through a command/action in UI.

As per last call, we decided to productise above.
