Missing link to keybindings.json in the Keyboard Shortcuts editor

Question

The VS Code documentation refers to a link to keybindings.json. This link is not present in my editor (see image). How can it be restored?

Where is keybindings.json located in Windows 10?

VS Code version: 1.29.0-insider (user setup)

Answer 1

I've tested this both on 1.28.0 and 1.29.0-insider. It seems that the link in question doesn't exist on the insider version. On my 1.28.0 installation, I can click the link and it will go to keybindings.json, which is found in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\keybindings.json. This link exists even if the file itself is deleted, and will create a new file at that location if you click it.

In the insider's version however, the link is gone, and the insider keybindings.json is installed for me by default in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Code - Insiders\User\keybindings.json.

If you want to open it up, you can open up the control palette with CTRL +SHIFT + P and select Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts File. This does the same thing as clicking on that link in the non-insiders version, including creating the file if it doesn't exist.
