# Find The Location Of User Settings JSON File
|
|
|
|
There are a ton ways to customize and fine-tune VS Code. All of the settings
|
|
have defaults which can then be customized on a workspace and user level.
|
|
Typically you'll access these files within VS Code via the Command Palette. I
|
|
was curious though: since it is just a JSON file, surely I can view and modify
|
|
it with any editor.
|
|
|
|
On a Mac, the user-level `settings.json` file is located at
|
|
`~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json`.
|
|
|
|
Open it up and you might see something like this:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
|
|
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
|
|
"window.zoomLevel": 1,
|
|
"workbench.editor.showTabs": "single"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A handful of settings with specific overrides.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to edit what is in here or add other settings that you want to set.
|
|
Just make sure you know what you're doing and that you set valid values.
|
|
|
|
The VS Code docs list [the locations of these files on other operating
|
|
systems](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_settings-file-locations).
