State: closed
Merged: Yes


This makes the settings UI the default settings experience.

As shown below, the following bindings are now default:

  • ctrl+, --> settings ui
  • ctrl+shift+, --> settings.json
  • ctrl+alt+, --> defaults.json

The dropdown settings button aligns with this heuristic:

  • click --> settings ui
  • shift+click --> settings.json
  • alt+click --> defaults.json
  • if alt and shift both pressed, open settings.json
