Managing settings and customization

Customizing and configuring VS Code is simple and intuitive. You can manage custom settings such as editor font and tab sizes by selecting Code | Preferences | Settings on macOS or File | Preferences | Settings on Windows. User and workspace settings are managed separately in JSON files and auto completion is provided in case you can't remember the exact name of a setting. You can also change the themes or keyboard shortcuts by selecting the appropriate option in the Preferences menu. The settings file is also where you can set custom settings for any extensions you install. Some settings are added by default when you install an extension, so changing them is as simple as updating and saving this file.
