settings.json based on SSH host

[didvc]

In vscode settings.json, a setting similar to this is possible:

"[python]":  {
    "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false
},

This applies only to python files.

Let's say I have the following settings.json,

"remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
        "ubuntupc": "linux",
    },

and I want to apply some settings to the remote.SSH.remotePlatform > ubuntupc scope.

So, something similar to the below would be desired:

"[remotePlatform]": {
  "[ubuntupc]":  {
      "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false
  },
}

So, for example, I can apply custom css configs (e.g. change the header color based on the host).

When you connect to a remote, are you able to run the workbench.action.openRemoteSettingsFile command?
I've attached a screenshot where I opened the command palette in a remote container and searched up the command.

great! that's what I wanted, the issue has solved for me. by the way the remote config files path is /home/user/.vscode-server/data/Machine/settings.json. it's all the same path between remote hosts. Where the each data is being located may I know? Thanks.

That file is located on the machine that you connected to.
