Uninstalling extension leads to removing existing default guide line from vscode

[KaushikSathvara]

When I uninstalled blockman extension from my vscode, it also disabled the guides from editor which leads me to reset settings.json for vscode.

Here are two properties doesnot set to default after removing extension from settings.json

"editor.guides.indentation": false,
"editor.guides.bracketPairs": false,

VSCode system currently does not give extensions access to the settings at uninstall event.

microsoft/vscode#45474

That's why I wrote this warning at the top of Blockman info page:

For better experience: Blockman WILL CHANGE these 8 items in VSCode settings (only one-time at the installation event). You can change them again when you want. These 8 settings are very non-vital, so maybe you don't even need to backup them first.

// settings.json (User/Global config, not Workspace config)
// To open this file in VSCode, press F1, type 'settings json' and choose 'Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)'
{
    // ...
    "editor.inlayHints.enabled": false,
    "editor.renderIndentGuides": false, // old API for indent guides
    "editor.guides.indentation": false, // new API for indent guides
    "editor.guides.bracketPairs": false, // new advanced indent guides (This does not turn off editor.bracketPairColorization)
    "editor.wordWrap": "off",
    "diffEditor.wordWrap": "off",

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        // ...
        "editor.lineHighlightBorder": "#9fced11f",
        "editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#1073cf2d"
    }
}

Good, Actually I installed it directly from the extension store and didn't read those warnings, My bad!
Anyway, I'm closing this issue.

Thanks.

    }

}

If I didn't back them up on install, if i were to uninstall.. are these the settings I would revert back to?

@ErikAmerico , These values are Blockmam values, not default values. But you can set these values to default very easily in VS Code settings. You just find each property (you can simply search in vs code settings search field) and click maybe three dots button and set to default value.

@leodevbro thank you!

I really enjoy the amount of customization you allowed. I've only had your extension for like 12 hours. But I think it's awesome so far!
