Setting Toggle

Easily toggle any VS code setting

This extension lets you toggle up to 3 custom settings defined in the settings.json file.

  • The primary setting can be toggled using the T button.
  • Status bar can be use to show the 3 settings and can be clicked to toggle.
  • Boolean fields will be toggled by default. However, one pair of two preset values can be toggled (string and ints).

The commands to toggle the three settings are:

  • Setting Toggle - Toggle Primary Setting
  • Setting Toggle - Toggle S1 Setting
  • Setting Toggle - Toggle S2 Setting

Settings

  • "toggle.settingTitle": Title of the primary setting, can be toggled using the button. Default is "editor.codeLens".
  • "toggle.setting1Title": Title of setting 1 for toggle.
  • "toggle.setting2Title": Title of setting 2 for toggle.
  • "toggle.settingState1": Custom value of state 1 for toggle, eg. "on".
  • "toggle.settingState2": Custom value of state 2 for toggle, eg. "off".
  • "toggle.iconEnabled": Show or hide the button icon. Default is true.
  • "toggle.showStatusbarPrimary": Show Primary toggle in status bar. Default is true.
  • "toggle.showStatusbarS1": Show S1 toggle in status bar. Default is false.
  • "toggle.showStatusbarS2": Show S2 toggle in status bar. Default is false.

  • The toggled setting gets automatically updated in your settings.json file.
  • CodeLens is toggled by default.
  • To toggle a custom setting, update your settings.json file with "toggle.settingTitle": to the name of the custom setting in the user settings, eg.
    "toggle.settingTitle": "workbench.activityBar.visible",
  • To use the Setting 1 and 2, assign the setting name to setting1Title and setting2Title.
    "toggle.setting1Title": "editor.codeLens",
    "toggle.setting2Title": "editor.parameterHints",

Language specific settings

Language specific (nested) settings are supported by using the following syntax:

    "toggle.settingTitle": "[terraform]editor.codeLens",

Will toggle the following:

    "[terraform]": {
        "editor.codeLens": false
    },

  • To toggle a non-boolean setting, assign State1 and State2 the values you want to toggle between. The setting is only toggled if the current value matches either State1 or State2.
    "editor.wordWrap": "off",
    "toggle.settingTitle": "editor.wordWrap",
    "toggle.settingState1": "off",
    "toggle.settingState2": "wordWrapColumn",

Toggle font size using ints.
