OS-Specific Settings

This extension provides and easy way to set OS-Specific settings.json values.

Usage

{
  // settings.json

  // Global switch to enable/disable 'OS-Specific Settings'
  "OS-Specific-Settings.Enabled": true,

  // Settings to apply for all platforms. Will be overwritten by platform-specific keys.
  "OS-Specific-Settings.Settings.shared": {
    "editor.fontSize": 13
  },

  // Settings to apply for windows platform. Overwrites settings set in 'shared' key.
  "OS-Specific-Settings.Settings.win32": {
    "editor.fontSize": 14
  },

  // Settings to apply for linux platform. Overwrites settings set in 'shared' key.
  "OS-Specific-Settings.Settings.linux": {
    "editor.fontSize": 15
  },

  // If provided, like so, will get updated (if not, will get appended at the bottom of the file):
  "editor.fontSize": 12
}

How does it work?

Settings are updated automatically each time a VS Code instance starts.

You can also update the settings manually by running the following command:

OS-Specific-Settings: Set Settings

The <PLATFORM> value is based on Node.js's os.platform() method:

• shared - will apply to all platforms
• win32 - Windows platform
• linux - Linux Platform
• android - Android platform
• aix - IBM AIX platform
• darwin - Darwin platform(MacOS, IOS etc)
• freebsd - FreeBSD Platform
• openbsd - OpenBSD platform
• sunos - SunOS platform

If the key is not found in the settings.json it will get appended at the bottom of the file. However, if it is found, it will be updated, preserving your custom file formatting.

Extension can be built with docker.
