Thought this would be a good way to familiarize myself with all the available settings.

Also learned you can link to other settings with #target.setting.id#, and fixed two such instances.

Closes #3608

@guidezpl nice idea! I had previously tried splitting them into Dart/Flutter but wasn't happy with how it looked, but I think this is much better! I have some suggestions for the groups though. I moved a few things around, changed "Running" to "Debugging" (although you can "run without debugging" I think it's a little clearer), and added "Logging".

I'm not super happy with the "Flutter" category (since we're inside "Dart & Flutter") but I think it's probably hard to make more specific. There are also a few things in Flutter that I wonder if should be elsewhere (for example if vmAdditionalArgs is in Debugging, why isn't flutteRunAdditionalArgs since these are equivalents for CLI/Flutter projects).

WDYT?

I agree with your feedback. WDYT about 'Run and Debug' to match the side bar?

Screen Shot 2021-11-04 at 12 19 34

Without a top level-name, it defaults to Dart, which makes sense

  • the vast majority of default extensions listed in settings are languages
  • doesn't conflict with Flutter sub-heading

I wasn't sure whether to put showDevToolsDebugToolBarButtons under Dev Tools or not. I actually don't even understand what this setting does, can you clarify?

As for Flutter, some stuff could go in the Run/Debug category, some maybe in Editor (gutter icons, outline), but others relate to create commands and I'm not sure where those would go.

I like that better :-)

Ah, I missed that. I guess we can't change this (it's just the extension name)? I'd prefer it said "Dart & Flutter" even if it does make the Flutter section look a little weird, as when collapsed it might not be obvious that the Flutter settings are within here.

There is a plan to move all the Flutter extensions to the Flutter extension, but that hasn't happened yet (although I wonder whether it's a bit job - perhaps we only need to move the manifest part, and the code in Dart's config class would just continue to work 🤔).

Perhaps the description can be improved if it's not obvious then. It lets you disable the extra buttons that are added to the debug toolbar that open the Widget Inspector/Timeline view in DevTools (see #2836).

Perhaps if we moved them to the Flutter extension it'd be a little clearer (Flutter -> Run & Debug, Flutter -> Editor, Flutter -> Project Creation), although I think what's in the list above is good enough. There's a good search in settings anyway, so I'm sure people will find what they need.

Afraid not, with categories.

Yeah, I think it might work.

Ah okay, I added "floating" to the description to clarify.

Agreed

Otherwise, should be good to merge

The bar is actually dockable so not always floating :-) But I think it's fine described like this - anyone that docked it should be aware that they did this, so I think they'll understand what it means.

Thanks!
