[BUG] `fvm use` makes unrelated changes to settings.json. about fvm HOT 4 OPEN

@bkleineibst I might look into adjusting this at a later time, but for now you can disable the manage VsCode settings by adding updateVscodeSettings to false on the .fvmrc

Regarding #642 (comment):

Comments are not part of the JSON specification. Therefore, it will not be supported.

It's worth mentioning that vscode does support comments in their settings files by using jsonc under the hood
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/json#_json-with-comments:

VS Code also has a JSON with Comments (jsonc) mode. This mode is used for the VS Code configuration files such as settings.json, tasks.json, or launch.json

from fvm.

Thanks @jibbers42 I did not find any existing dart package that supports not only reading but also writing back of json with comments, so will have to do further research on this later.

But for anyone else having this issue here is a workaround

Comments are not part of the JSON specification. Therefore, are not supported. However, if you choose to comment, I suggest doing the following:

{
    "_comment": "This is the basic data",
    "key": "value"
}

This would allow valid comments with json
