[QUESTION] Editing the default settings.json

[KawaGeo]

How do we edit the default settings.json so that we don't have to edit the settings.json every time we create a new project?

That's something that's managed by the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 MicroPython extension. You would have to find where that extension stores the template for the settings.json file and edit the template.

If you're on Windows, it's in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\lego-education.ev3-micropython-2.0.0\resources\template\.vscode

I followed your suggestion with a small modification, "template.vscode" -> "template\.vscode" and reboot the Windows OS. Nothing has changed.

So, to confirm:

1. You edited the settings.json file in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\lego-education.ev3-micropython-2.0.0\resources\template\.vscode to change the setting.
2. You created a new project after making that change.
3. The new project's settings file did not have the setting you put in the template.

Is that correct?

Ah, looks like that isn't the file that gets used.

You'd need to edit the settings.json file in this directory instead: %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\lego-education.ev3-micropython-2.0.0\resources\projects\new_project\.vscode

That's not what I'd expect, but that seems to work.

Finally, it works. It is the new project folder to change anything you want, including main.py file.
