LESSON 05: Open settings (JSON) not showing.

[NIAZELOPER]

In visual Studio code, After pressing ctrl + shift + p, and writing settings in search bar, Open Settings (JSON) preference is not in the list, instead Open Default Settings(JSON), Open User settings(JSON) and all other are there.

Someone please help me how to access "setting(JSON)". Its not in the list. I am finding it for formatting purpose.

Hey @NIAZELOPER, well in new version of Visual Code (atleast in linux) has no such command explicitly to open JSON. Although now it has two options of Open User Settings (JSON) and Open Workspace Settings (JSON). I suggest go for Open User Settings (JSON) to do the job, it will work the same way shown in the video although Open Workspace Settings (JSON) only walk you through the project you are currently working not everytime you open new projects.

At last I suggest you not to messup with Open Default Settings (JSON) as it is very dangerous and can exploit your entire VS Code Settings!
