VSC platform-specific settings-CodePudding

My settings.json on Linux machine contains setting lines for cortex-debug extension:

    "cortex-debug.armToolchainPath": "/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/",
    "cortex-debug.JLinkGDBServerPath": "/opt/SEGGER/JLink_V754b/JLinkGDBServerCLExe",

The same file on Windows machine should refer to a different file name JLinkGDBServerCL.exe (yes, I understand such dumb naming is guilty of Segger, but...)

When settings sync turned on, I continuously get the wrong config on one (Windows or Linux) machine.

Is it possible to set a platform-specific section in settings.json to define a different key for an extension?

One way is to use VSCode's features to define machine specific settings or prevent certain settings from being synced,

Ok, found another solution for my problem.

At first, install platform-settings from marketplace:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=runarsf.platform-settings

Next, move required settings to a new place:

"platformSettings.platforms": {
    "win32": {
        "cortex-debug.armToolchainPath": "C:/Program Files (x86)/GNUARM/bin/",
        "cortex-debug.JLinkGDBServerPath": "JLinkGDBServerCL.Exe",
    },
    "linux": {
        "cortex-debug.armToolchainPath": "/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/",
        "cortex-debug.JLinkGDBServerPath": "/opt/SEGGER/JLink_V754b/JLinkGDBServerCLExe"
    }
}

But variant with sync prevention looks pretty good.
