Workspace "Directories" settings overrides the "User" settings

[qzcx]

Would it be possible to merge the "Directories" setting across all setting scopes (User, remote, workspace, folder)? I know vscode precedence says workspace overrides User settings but would be good if this merged in this case instead of overwriting when there are differences. If infeasible, this can be closed.

Hi @qzcx ! 😄
This behaviour is by design on VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_workspace-settings

AFAIK from the extension point of view there is no difference between workspace and user settings, it just simply don't know if a specific value is set in user or workspace json.
