Okay, did you delete the } from the end of the file? Can you share your settings file? The error message suggests that there is something wrong on line 114.

@montyjain20 - what version of terminal are you using? I loaded the settings you sent to 1.4, 1.5 and latest development branch, and none of them returned an error (though a purple background in CMD was somewhat I was unprepared for).

Well.. that's weird. It works for me on the same version. So I guess it is somehow related to the system.
Probably the team has better idea, but it can help to know:

  • What OS version are you running?
  • What languages are enabled?
  • Can you please attach the screenshot of the error

It could also help if you could help pinpointing the problem is by slicing the file content prior to line 114.
If possible, I would start with:

  • Removing the emojis from profiles (just wondering if there can be some weird unicode issue, though I see your file has BOM prepended)
  • If the issue still exists to remove profiles from the list one by one
