User settings for language configurations

[irvnriir]

Please add functionality to: set all Autoclosing, Surrounding, Indentation settings and enable Intendation Folding (if possible, on top of language specific one); so they could not be overwritten by Language configs.

When multiple languages are used, the kaleidoscope switching of these settings are disturbing and/or loading the memory for no use. And editing the config files for each language is inconsistent and long.

[roblourens]

Can you explain more about what you are looking for? Are you talking about settings like editor.autoClosingBrackets? You can set those to affect all languages, or override them per language.

@roblourens
from language-configuration.json : autoClosingPairs, surroundingPairs, folding.
editor.autoClosingBrackets somewhy can be overwritten by Language (even if not set to "languageDefined"), for example in Armitxes.sqf.

[roblourens]

Can you give me an example of the exact issue you are having?

[irvnriir]

what?

settings.json : ,"editor.autoClosingBrackets": "beforeWhitespace"
%extensions%\armitxes.sqf-2.0.3\package.json : ,"editor.autoClosingBrackets": "always"
The 2nd setting is used. (isssue)

autoClosingPairs, surroundingPairs, folding that are present in language-configuration.json -s in default Language extensions, can't be set language-independent in settings.json . (isssue)

[aeschli]

The request to allow users to configure autoclosing pairs is #38352
Folding markers is: #36002

[irvnriir]

The folding ask is about using Indentation together with "Open" and "Close" Tags . Unlike the linked 1 .

I think this issue might be resolved if we would allow specifying language configurations in settings.json.
