Optional Settings

I have created a GitHub Gist titled “VSCode settings for the extensions installed via GrannePack HTML”. If you wish to use these settings:

1. Click on the Raw button, press Command-A for macOS or Ctrl+A for Windows to select the contents of the page, & copy the contents of the page.
2. Invoke the Command Palette (Shift-Command-P for macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P for Windows & Linux), search for Open Settings (JSON), & press Return/Enter.
3. Again press Command-A for macOS or Ctrl+A for Windows to select the contents of your settings.json file, & then paste the contents of my Gist over what you already had there. Yes, this will overwrite any settings you have already made. If you want to keep your old settings, copy them to a separate file first, & then carefully add them back in one at a time after you paste in my settings. Pay attention to the rules of formatting JSON files if you do that!
4. Save the file you just pasted into — settings.json — & close the tab.

If Visual Studio Code reports errors with settings.json:

• Visual Studio Code should indicate the problems that need fixing. Look at the Common Questions section on the User and Workspace Settings page in Documentation for more information.
• Paste the contents of your settings.json file into the JSON Formatter & Validator web tool. It will provide clear solutions to help you mitigate errors.
