|

|
-Even though we do not pass the telemetry build flags (and go out of our way to cripple the baked-in telemetry), Microsoft will still track usage by default.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-We do however set the default `telemetry.enableCrashReporter` and `telemetry.enableTelemetry` values to false. You can see those by viewing your VSCodium settings.json and searching for `telemetry`.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The instructions [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_how-to-disable-telemetry-reporting) and [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_how-to-disable-crash-reporting) help with explaining and toggling telemetry.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-It is also highly recommended that you review all the settings that "use online services" by following [these instructions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_managing-online-services). The `@tag:usesOnlineServices` filter on the settings page will show that by default:
|
|
|
-- Extensions auto check for updates and auto install updates
|
|
|
-- Searches within the app are sent to an online service for "natural language processing"
|
|
|
-- Updates to the app are fetched in the background
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-These can all be disabled.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-__Please note that some extensions send telemetry data to Microsoft as well. We have no control over this and can only recommend removing the extension.__

-_(For example the C# extension `ms-vscode.csharp` sends tracking data to Microsoft.)_

-VSCodium (and a freshly cloned copy of vscode built from source) stores its extension files in `~/.vscode-oss`. So if you currently have Visual Studio Code installed, your extensions won't automatically populate. You can reinstall your extensions from the Marketplace in VSCodium, or copy the `extensions` from `~/.vscode/extensions` to `~/.vscode-oss/extensions`.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Visual Studio Code stores its `keybindings.json` and `settings.json` file in the these locations:
|
|
|
-- __Windows__: `%APPDATA%\Code\User`
|
|
|
-- __macOS__: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User`
|
|
|
-- __Linux__: `$HOME/.config/Code/User`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You can copy these files to the VSCodium user settings folder:
|
|
|
-- __Windows__: `%APPDATA%\VSCodium\User`
|
|
|
-- __macOS__: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/VSCodium/User`
|
|
|
-- __Linux__: `$HOME/.config/VSCodium/User`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To copy your settings manually:
|
|
|
-- In Visual Studio Code, go to Settings (Command+, if on a Mac)
|
|
|
-- Click the three dots `...` and choose 'Open settings.json'
|
|
|
-- Copy the contents of settings.json into the same place in VSCodium
