By now you've either heard of or tried out VS Code's relatively new Profiles feature, which allows you to customize your VS Code settings for different development scenarios.

The Profiles feature is continually being improved, which has included the ability to create partial profiles. For example, open your Profiles by clicking the cog icon ("Manage"), then choosing "Profiles". When you create a new profile, there's a "Contents" section that lets you specify if you want to grab the default settings for a particular category, or just use "none" (empty settings).

As you can see, each of the categories will default to "none" but you can change any of them as needed. This is also possible when creating a new Profile from an existing Profiles template like the Node.js, which is one of multiple templates bundled with the Profiles feature.

So in this case I can specify "default" or "empty" settings for these categories or I can choose to keep settings already provided in the template itself using the "Node.js" option for each.

And of course, as shown above, if you click on any existing saved Profile, you can adjust any of these Contents settings for each of the categories, assuming you want to make changes to a saved Profile's settings.

Now on to this week's hand-picked links!
