My VS Code user settings — editor preferences, vim keybindings, and native shortcuts, versioned across environments.
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
settings.json |
Editor preferences, vim layer, language overrides |
keybindings.json |
Native VS Code keybindings |
chatLanguageModels.json |
Custom AI model configuration |
Each branch targets a specific environment:
| Branch | Environment |
|---|---|
apple |
macOS |
windows |
Windows |
cursor |
Cursor editor |
Platform-specific settings live on their respective branch. apple is the upstream default.
Two layers work together:
- Vim layer (
vscodevim.vim) — leader-key driven,<space>as leader. Handles editor navigation, splits, file management, git, debugger, and tasks without leaving the keyboard home row. - Native layer (
keybindings.json) —ctrl+;as the chord prefix for all workbench actions. macOS defaults (shift+cmd+*) are explicitly unbound to avoid conflicts.
