Opening launch configs in user or workspace settings should reveal the "launch" section

[weinand]

Testing #44449:

If you have a default launch config in user or workspace settings and you press the gear icon in the debug viewlet, it opens the correct settings file but it does not reveal or highlight the "launch" section.

This is a great idea, for that the OpenGlobalSettings would need to take an additional option of being passed a setting name.
Assigning also to @sandy081 since he would need to provide that api or to give me some code pointers for that to happen or if our proposal make sense at all.

You can provide the setting to edit using editSetting option.

Eg: this.preferencesService.openGlobalSettings(true, { editSetting: <id> });

@sandy081 thanks, I just tried it. Even though this nicely opens the User setting on the correct location it also adds a new line and triggers the suggest widget. Which seems to be expected for the editSetting behavior. Here I do not really want to edit - I simply want that part revealed. Is there some api for that?

[sandy081]

Ah ok, I can add reveal setting option for your use case.

[isidorn]

Yeah, that would be great, thanks!

@sandy081 friendly ping for this. Should we push it out to next milestone? Anything works for me.

[sandy081]

Will see if I can squeeze it in today, otherwise will move this on Monday. Hope that works.

[isidorn]

Anything works. Thanks!

[sandy081]

Added support for revealing the setting. Eg:

this.preferencesService.openGlobalSettings(true, { revealSetting: {key: '<id>'} });

@sandy081 works lovely, thanks!
