VSCode Missing settings in settings.json file-CodePudding

I can access the (JSON) file by simply:

Open the command palette (either with F1 or Ctrl Shift P)
Type "open settings"
And then choose Open Settings (JSON)

The thing is that when i open those settings all the options presented are these:

    "workbench.colorTheme": "Default Dark ",    
    "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "------------",   
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Command Prompt",    
    "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false,

Nothing more, i want to change my option through the (JSON) settings. I even installed the VIM extension and i would love to be able to costumize it in the (JSON) file.

Any suggestions?

CodePudding user response：

Does the json file not just override what is the default setting? so anything you put in there becomes the new default?
(Also, settings can be for a project workspace or global, so is that file in your project?)

CodePudding user response：

settings.json is empty by default. It only contains settings that you've modified.

You can show the full list of JSON settings using Ctrl Shift P -> Preferences: Open Default Settings (JSON). Or just modify them from the GUI.
