How to edit the Brackets settings file?

Question

Layout

I can't change anything in it, even if through another text editor, Brackets overwrites the settings file...

Answer 1

You are editing the wrong file.
In the defaultPreferences.json file , you can look at the default settings, you can change them in the brackets.json file , which is located in the same folder.
That's why they open at the same time if you click Debug / Open settings file .
Open and add the item you need, for example And that's it. "dragDropText": true,

Answer 2

If you need to change it, create a file in the root of your project, it will be read and changes will be taken from there. The file name, if memory serves, should be like this - .brackets.json
