User and Workspace Settings
It is easy to configure VS Code to your liking through settings. Nearly every part of VS Code’s editor, user interface, and functional behavior has options you can modify.
VS Code provides two different scopes for settings:
- User These settings apply globally to any instance of VS Code you open
- Workspace These settings are stored inside your workspace in a
.vscode
folder and only apply when the workspace is opened. Settings defined on this scope override the user scope.
Creating User and Workspace Settings
To get to the user and workspace settings:
- On a Windows computer, click File > Preferences > Settings
- On a Mac, click Code > Preferences > Settings
You are provided with a list of Default Settings. Copy any setting that you want to change to the appropriate settings.json
file. The tabs on the right let you switch quickly between the user and workspace settings files.
You can also open the user and workspace settings from the Command Palette (kb(workbench.action.showCommands)
) with Preferences: Open User Settings and Preferences: Open Workspace Settings or use the keyboard shortcut (kb(workbench.action.openGlobalSettings)
).
In the example below, we disabled line numbers in the editor and configured line wrapping to wrap automatically based on the size of the editor.
Changes to settings are reloaded by VS Code after the modified settings.json
file is saved.
Note: Workspace settings are useful for sharing project specific settings across a team.
Settings File Locations
Depending on your platform, the user settings file is located here:
- Windows
%APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
- Mac
$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
- Linux
$HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json
The workspace setting file is located under the .vscode
folder in your project.
Default Settings
When you open settings, we show Default Settings to search and discover settings you are looking for. When you search using the big Search bar, it will not only show and highlight the settings matching your criteria, but also filter out those which are not matching. This makes finding settings quick and easy. There are actions available inside Default Settings and settings.json
editors which will help you quickly copy or update a setting.
Note: VS Code extensions can also add their own custom settings and they will be visible in the Default Settings list at runtime.
Settings groups
Default settings are represented in groups so that you can navigate them easily. It has Most Commonly Used group on the top to see the most common customizations done by VS Code users.
Here is the copy of default settings that comes with VS Code.
Language specific editor settings
To customize your editor by language, run the global command Preferences: Configure language specific settings… (command id: workbench.action.configureLanguageBasedSettings
) from the Command Palette (kb(workbench.action.showCommands)
) which opens the language picker. Selecting the language you want, opens the Settings editor with the language entry where you can add applicable settings.
If you have a file open and you want to customize the editor for this file type, click on 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 the Settings editor with the language entry where you can add applicable settings.
You can also configure language based settings by directly opening settings.json
. You can scope them to the workspace by placing them in the Workspace settings just like other settings. If you have settings defined for a language in both user and workspace scopes, then they are merged by giving precedence to the ones defined in the workspace.
The following examples customize editor settings for language modes typescript
and markdown
.
{
"[typescript]": {
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.formatOnPaste": true
},
"[markdown]": {
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.wordWrap": "on",
"editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off"
}
}
You can use IntelliSense in Settings editor to help you find allowed language based settings. All editor settings and some non-editor settings are supported.
Settings and security
In settings, we allow you to specify some of the executables that VS Code will run to do its work. 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.
Here is the list of settings we don’t support at the workspace scope:
git.path
terminal.integrated.shell.linux
terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux
terminal.integrated.shell.osx
terminal.integrated.shellArgs.osx
terminal.integrated.shell.windows
terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows
terminal.external.windowsExec
terminal.external.osxExec
terminal.external.linuxExec
The first time you open a workspace which defines any of these settings, VS Code will warn you and subsequently always ignore the values after that.

Common Questions
Q: VS Code says “Unable to write settings.”
A: If you try to change a setting (for example turning on Auto Save or selecting a new Color Theme) and you see “Unable to write settings. Please open User Settings to correct errors/warnings in the file and try again.”, it means your settings.json
file is ill-formed or has errors. The errors can be as simple as a missing comma or setting value. Open the Settings editor File > Preferences > Settings (Code > Preferences > Settings on Mac) (kb(workbench.action.openGlobalSettings)
) and you should see the error highlighted with red squiggles.
Q: When does it make sense to use workspace settings?
A: If you’re using a workspace that needs custom settings but you don’t want to apply them to your other VS Code projects. A good example is language-specific linting rules.
