Settings

All settings live under Edit → Project Settings → Plugins → Code Editor. They are stored per user, per project (EditorPerProjectUserSettings), so they do not travel with the project for other team members.

Two buttons at the section level reset things: Reset Keybindings to Defaults and the standard Reset to Defaults (which restores every value below).
