User Settings
User settings are global settings that are applied to all VS Code instances and in Windows OS they are located at: ~/cdrive/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Code/User

}We can open the User Settings with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + P that opens the command palette and then type “Open User Settings” to find the Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) command.
Key bindings for Visual Studio Code
In the same location there is also the key bindings JSON file
// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults

]Workspace settings.json location
Similar to User Settings, Workspace Settings, apply to the open folder or workspace, are also stored in a settings.json file, which you can edit directly via the Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON) command.
The workspace settings file is located under the .vscode folder in your project’s root folder.
