Is there a way to make a settings.json simply on a project?

Question

When you want to make a different settings on a specific project, you will make .vscode/settings.json. I know how to make .vscode/settings.json. If I make that directory and file and name as .vscode and settings.json then those files will be functioning as the setting of the project of the directory.

But I'm lazy to do those all acts. Is there some simpler ways to make the settings.json file on each project directory? Like by using a shortcut key we could make the file, or just by using a button from a extension.

I think,

Select File > Preferences > Settings (or press Ctrl+,) and Select Workspace tab, and then changing any setting is the fastest way to make the .vscode/settings.json now. if you change any setting of there, immediately vscode will make the file. No other shortcut, but I think this is quite reasonable.

If you need to change some settings in vscode, vscode will make the .vscode/settings.json automatically.
