Changed setting - user by accident

#1

Hello.
I have two questions about changing “setting - user.”
One, I accidently deleted what was there by default. I don’t know what it was, but I am wondering if and what it will affect, and what is actually in there by default, so that I can put it back.

Two, how do I edit the setting?

Thank you

Being used to override “Setting - default” defined values, “Setting - user” is just an empty json in both ST2 or ST3:

// Settings in here override those in "Default/Preferences.sublime-settings", and
// are overridden in turn by file type specific settings.
{
}

To edit the settings, just put the overrides in “Setting - user”, let’s say you want to change the default text size:

// Setting - default value
{
    ...
    "font_size": 10,
    ...
}
// Setting - user override
{
    "font_size": 9
}

I was forgetting, you can access both Default or User files from Preferences’ menu :smile:

So, even though I deleted everything in Settings - User (what was there by default), none of the settings have been changed?
