[yaml]: VSCode-YAML adds default configuration for all yaml files. More specifically it converts tabs to spaces to ensure valid yaml, sets the tab size, and allows live typing autocompletion. These settings can be modified via the corresponding settings inside the[yaml]section in the settings:editor.insertSpaceseditor.tabSizeeditor.quickSuggestions
Telemetry
ServerlessIDE collects usage data and metrics to help us improve the extension for VS Code.
What data is collected?
ServerlessIDE collects anonymous information related to the usage of the extensions, such as which commands were run, as well as performance and error data.
How do I disable telemetry reporting?
On Windows or Linux, select File > Preferences > Settings. On macOS, select Code > Preferences > Settings. Then, to silence all telemetry events from the VS Code shell and disable telemetry reporting, add the following option.
"serverlessIDE.telemetry.enableTelemetry": false
IMPORTANT: This option requires a restart of VS Code to take effect.
NOTE: We also respect the global telemetry setting telemetry.enableTelemetry; if that is set to false, ServerlessIDE telemetry is disabled. For more information see Microsoft’s documentation.
