Manual setup rather than modifying settings on installation

See original GitHub issue

Thanks for the nice extension šŸ‘.

However, it might be better to allow manual setup (e.g. a command use recommended settings and a pop-up for confirmation when installed) rather than modifying settings upon installation.

I have device A and both its extensions and settings are synced (including a custom editor.lineHighlightBackground). The problem is that when I open VS Code on device B, the custom color is overwritten (and then synced among all my devices). And I can see that every time I open VS Code on a device that hasnā€™t installed Blockman, the setting will be overwritten againā€¦

Thanks, Iā€™ll think about it. Well, currently I think making a popup prompt will be more annoying for most users than modifying settings quietly. And all these 7 items are easy to reset manually.

// settings.json (User/Global config, not Workspace config)
// To open this file in VSCode, press F1, type 'settings json' and choose 'Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)'
{
    // ...
    "editor.inlayHints.enabled": false,
    "editor.guides.indentation": false, // new API for indent guides. The old one is: "editor.renderIndentGuides": false,
    "editor.guides.bracketPairs": false, // advanced indent guides (But only for brackets) (This does not turn off editor.bracketPairColorization)
    "editor.wordWrap": "off",
    "diffEditor.wordWrap": "off",

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        // ...
        "editor.lineHighlightBorder": "#9fced11f",
        "editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#1073cf2d"
    }
}

But of course Iā€™ll try to think about the cases like yours.

Initially I thought it was a kind of reinstallation but probably just because the old settings sync extention could do something like that. Thinking about it now, itā€™s not very likely that the native settings sync vscode has now reinstalls things unnecessarily.

Thank you for looking into this so quicly! Your advice works like a charm, now my indent guide stays after restarting vscode.
