view.settings() aggregates a settings view that is collected from various sources, including but not limited to:

  • Default
  • User
  • Project
  • Syntax-specific
  • View-specific

There is currently no easy way to determine where the setting came from, besides checking all those sources manually. It would help debugging some settings problems immensely and would also be convenient for plugins, such as InactivePanes, which react react to settings changes in this aggregated settings view.
