HOW

NOTE: Due to how vscode works, you must first open vscode at least once for creation of Code/User directory.

1. Clone CVIMU directory in your dotfiles.
2. Remove .git.
3. Import prof profile from profiles/prof.code-profile.
4. Symlink global settings.json file for keybindings.
   In my case, on linux, I save dotfiles at ~/.dotfiles, which is managed with git and stow.

ln -sf "$HOME/.dotfiles/CVIMU/settings.json" "$HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json"

For macOS (untested)

ln -sf "$HOME/.dotfiles/CVIMU/settings.json" "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json"

For Windows (untested)

New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink `
  -Path "$env:APPDATA\Code\User\settings.json" `
  -Target "$HOME\.dotfiles\CVIMU\settings.json"

WORKSPACES

• Export your workspaces to workspaces via File > Save Workspace As...
• go to containing directory of them all
• select them all with ctrl + a
• drop them all in opened vscode instance
