[Feature] Custom Settings Sync

Open SquidBytes opened this issue 8 months ago • 4 comments

Feature request to enables users to sync their settings (including configurations, extensions, keybindings, etc.) to self-hosted services or offline services. This would allow users operating in offline or LAN-only environments to have a consistent account across different machines without relying on external accounts. Ideally allowing users to specify custom configurations when creating accounts.

I recently discovered Void and it seems awesome. I've never had a way to sync my settings between accounts offline, and I don't know of any extension, or alternative editor that currently provides this.

Considering the Void's homepage has "retain full control over your data" this seems like a feature that would fit right in.

What services do you have in mind?

We currently allow you to pull your extensions/keybindings from VS Code, Windsurf, and Cursor.

based on oss does not support official vscode settings, maybe their are a way to sync setting between void and vscode, and use vscode to sync settings to another pc etc...

pull: cloud -> vscode -> void push: void -> vscode -> cloud

Would be open to someone implementing this, but not a top priority right now. Not sure how wed we are to VSCode in the long run so investments like this are not priority

What is the recommended way to have a perfect sync between to machines with Void installed?
