Configuring debugger layout?

[barrycarr]

Hi,

We'd like to provide our users with a specifically configured debugger layout (hiding some panels and expanding others). What is the best way to achieve this?

I've figured out that the users settings default configuration values are stored in the browser IndexDB and I've found the values in there we'd like to change. But, browsing through the source for openvscode-server it's not obvious where or how the layout configuration is loaded. I've also looked and tried the approach mentioned in #199, but that doesn't seem to work for these settings. I've also looked at #255 - is this the approach I need to take here? Can I set any openvscode-server setting via IWorkbenchConstructionOptions.configurationDefaults as mentioned in #255 or, is there a better way to change these layout values?

Cheers

Hi @barrycarr, if you want all users to have a custom layout/settings as default then yes IWorkbenchConstructionOptions.configurationDefaults is the way to go, that's how Gitpod and codespaces also do it
You can build vscode again with yarn gulp vscode-reh-web-linux-x64-min
