Then, click the ‘Open JSON file’ option at the bottom of the left-side navigation bar. If this is the first time you’re opening a JSON file, it will ask you ‘How do you want to open this file?’ (With which app). You can open and edit JSON files in any text editor. So, select the ‘More apps ↓’ option to choose your text editor. Then scroll down, select a text editor (the inbuilt Notepad works fine), and click ‘OK’. You can also check the ‘Alway use this app to open. json files’ box to make this app the default app for JSON files. This will open the settings.json file in the Notepad. If you want to open the ‘default.json’ file to use it as a reference for the default settings, just click the ‘Open JSON file’ option while holding the Alt key. Remember ‘defaut.json’ file is not intended for user manipulation, it can only be used for reference. In the ‘settings.json’, you would probably see only a few key bindings objects under the ‘action’ (formerly, key bindings) property. It is because most of the key bindings are only stored on the ‘default.json file’.

If you go through the ‘defaults.json’ file, you will find all the default key binding objects grouped into several categories under the ‘actions’ array.
