I've created a list with files and directories on MacOS that are important to backup.

~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/syncLocalSettings.json
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/Snippets
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json

It seems like these settings are all you need to get your user settings back.

Extensions are saved in
/Users/alexanderhoerl/.vscode/extensions
Every extension has its own folder with a name like dbaeumer.vscode-eslint-1.7.2 maybe we can create a list of installed extensions just from the folder names. It looks like the folder names are unique identifiers for the extension and the version used.
