Inthis article, we'll first describe user settings as these are your personal settings for customizing VS Code. Later we'll cover Workspace settings, which will be specific to the project you're working on.

When you open the Settings editor, you can search and discover the settings you are looking for. When you search using the search bar, it not only shows and highlights the settings matching your criteria, but also filter out those which are not matching. This makes finding settings quick and easy.


As an example, let's hide the Activity Bar from VS Code. You might want to hide the Activity Bar to give the editor a little more room, or if you prefer to open views via the View menu or Command Palette.


You can now check and uncheck the Workbench > Activity Bar: Visible setting to hide and unhide the Activity Bar. Notice that when you have changed the setting value to be different than the default value, you see a blue line to the left.


The Settings editor search bar has several filters to make it easier to manage your settings. To the right of the search bar is a filter button with a funnel icon that provides options to easily add a filter to the search bar.


To check which settings you have configured, there is a @modified filter in the search bar. A setting shows up under this filter if its value differs from the default value, or if its value is explicitly set in the respective settings JSON file.


While you can reset settings individually via the Settings editor Reset Setting command, you can reset all changed settings by opening settings.json and deleting the entries between the braces . Be careful since there is no way to recover your previous setting values.


Note: A VS Code "workspace" is usually just your project root folder. Workspace settings as well as debugging and task configurations are stored at the root in a .vscode folder. You can also have more than one root folder in a VS Code workspace through a feature called Multi-root workspaces. You can learn more in the What is a VS Code "workspace"? article.


All features of the Settings editor such as settings groups, search, and filtering behave the same for Workspace settings. Not all User settings are available as Workspace settings. For example, application-wide settings related to updates and security can not be overridden by Workspace settings.


One way to customize language-specific settings is by opening the Settings editor, pressing on the filter button, and selecting the language option to add a language filter. Alternatively, one can directly type a language filter of the form @lang:languageId into the search widget. The settings that show up will be configurable for that specific language, and will show the setting value specific to that language, if applicable.


When you modify a setting while there is a language filter in place, the setting is configured in the given scope for that language.For example, when modifying the user-scope diffEditor.codeLens setting while there is a @lang:css filter in the search widget, the Settings editor saves the new value to the CSS-specific section of the user settings file.


If you have a file open and you want to customize the editor for this file type, select the Language Mode in the Status Bar to the bottom-right of the VS Code window. This opens the Language Mode picker with an option Configure 'language_name' language based settings. Selecting this opens your user settings.json with the language entry where you can add applicable settings.


Language-specific editor settings always override non-language-specific editor settings, even if the non-language-specific settinghas a narrower scope. For example, language-specific user settings override non-language-specific workspace settings.


You can scope language-specific settings to the workspace by placing them in the workspace settings just like other settings. If you have settings defined for the same language in both user and workspace scopes, then they are merged by giving precedence to the ones defined in the workspace.


You can use IntelliSense in settings.json to help you find language-specific settings. All editor settings and some non-editor settings are supported. Some languages have default language-specific settings already set, which you can review in defaultSettings.json by running the Preferences: Open Default Settings command.


You can configure language specific editor settings for multiple languages at once. The following example shows how you can customize settings for javascript and typescript languages together in your settings.json file:


Values with primitive types and Array types are overridden, meaning a configured value in a scope that takes precedence over another scope is used instead of the value in the other scope. But, values with Object types are merged.


If there are conflicting values, such as editor.selectionBackground in the example above, the usual override behavior occurs, with workspace values taking precedence over user values, and language-specific values taking precedence over non-language-specific values.


If you are using multiple language-specific settings, be aware that language-specific settings are merged and precedence is set based on the full language string (for example "[typescript][javascript]") and not the individual language IDs (typescript and javascript). This means that for example, a "[typescript][javascript]" workspace setting will not override a "[javascript]" user setting.


Some settings allow you to specify an executable that VS Code will run to perform certain operations. For example, you can choose which shell the Integrated Terminal should use. For enhanced security, such settings can only be defined in user settings and not at workspace scope.


You can share your user settings across your VS Code instances with the Settings Sync feature. This feature lets you share settings, keyboard shortcuts, and installed extensions across your VS Code installs on various machines. You can enable Settings Sync via the Backup and Sync Settings command on the right of the Settings editor or on the Accounts Activity Bar context menu.


In general, VS Code extensions store their settings in your user or workspaces settings files and they are available through the Settings editor UI (Preferences: Open Settings (UI) command) or via IntelliSense in your settings.json file (Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) command). Searching by the extension name (for example gitlens or python) can help filter down settings to just those contributed by an extension.


The account security settings allow admins to configure certain authentication and settings for users on the account. These options include password restrictions, restricting sign-in methods, as well as other user profile settings.


A dictionary mapping "app_label.model_name" strings to functions that takea model object and return its URL. This is a way of inserting or overridingget_absolute_url() methods on a per-installation basis. Example:


A list of all the people who get code error notifications. WhenDEBUG=False and AdminEmailHandleris configured in LOGGING (done by default), Django emails thesepeople the details of exceptions raised in the request/response cycle.


A list of strings representing the host/domain names that this Django site canserve. This is a security measure to prevent HTTP Host header attacks, which are possible even under manyseemingly-safe web server configurations.


The CACHES setting must configure a default cache;any number of additional caches may also be specified. If youare using a cache backend other than the local memory cache, oryou need to define multiple caches, other options will be required.The following cache options are available.


The reason for setting a long-lived expiration time is to avoid problems inthe case of a user closing a browser or bookmarking a page and then loadingthat page from a browser cache. Without persistent cookies, the form submissionwould fail in this case.


Some browsers (specifically Internet Explorer) can disallow the use ofpersistent cookies or can have the indexes to the cookie jar corrupted on disk,thereby causing CSRF protection checks to (sometimes intermittently) fail.Change this setting to None to use session-based CSRF cookies, whichkeep the cookies in-memory instead of on persistent storage.


The domain to be used when setting the CSRF cookie. This can be useful foreasily allowing cross-subdomain requests to be excluded from the normal crosssite request forgery protection. It should be set to a string such as".example.com" to allow a POST request from a form on one subdomain to beaccepted by a view served from another subdomain.


As with other HTTP headers in request.META, the header name received fromthe server is normalized by converting all characters to uppercase, replacingany hyphens with underscores, and adding an 'HTTP_' prefix to the name.For example, if your client sends a 'X-XSRF-TOKEN' header, the settingshould be 'HTTP_X_XSRF_TOKEN'.


These checks prevent, for example, a POST request fromsubdomain.example.com from succeeding against api.example.com. If youneed cross-origin unsafe requests, continuing the example, add' ' to this list (and/or ifrequests originate from an insecure page).


A dictionary containing the settings for all databases to be used withDjango. It is a nested dictionary whose contents map a database aliasto a dictionary containing the options for an individual database.


When connecting to other database backends, such as MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, orPostgreSQL, additional connection parameters will be required. Seethe ENGINE setting below on how to specifyother database types. This example is for PostgreSQL:


If set to True, existing persistent database connections will be health checked before they arereused in each request performing database access. If the health check fails,the connection will be reestablished without failing the request when theconnection is no longer usable but the database server is ready to accept andserve new connections (e.g. after database server restart closing existingconnections).
