Global omnisharp.json

[DustinCampbell]

Is there any way to use omnisharp.json globally instead of having to copy it to every project manually?
Placing one in C:\Users<User>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User does not seem to work.

Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

@zeroskyx From what I can see in the wiki, if you don't include an omnisharp.json file in the code folder, it will use what is specified in the config.json or environment variables (in that order). Those two are essentially your global version of omnisharp.json.

Thanks for the info!
However, unfortunately this does not work for vscode since there is no default config.json.

However, unfortunately this does not work for vscode since there is no default config.json.

you could create a config.json with your global settings in the place where VS Code extension is installed. For example, on a mac that's ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.csharp-1.6.0/bin/omnisharp.

The downside is, that would be overwritten on updates.

That said, it wouldn't be too big of a deal to add omnisharp support for global config loaded from %appdata%
