Manual setup rather than modifying settings on installation

Thanks for the nice extension 👍.

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 hasn’t installed Blockman, the setting will be overwritten again…

Thanks, I’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 I’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, it’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.
