JSON file formatted - FancyZones zones-setting.json

[DNM1008]

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

What is the expected behavior of the proposed feature? What is the scenario this would be used?

I want the setting file to be written in lines, much like how the setting of the Terminal app, so that when we want to have a look at our settings and make pixel-presision zone settings, it's easier to read and manoeuvrer around the file without making mistakes here and there. I tried hitting the Enter key, but every time I came back it was the same, in a single line. I don't know the mechanism for resetting the file (while still keeping my settings, provided that I exit from PowerToys, mind you, which is great).
I'd ask for auto complete for syntaxes, say if you add another zone after the last, it automatically adds a comma, or ask for missing variable, stuff like that, but I guess that's a plugin thing that I have to install on VSCode.

This is your problem?

I made this GIF a few weeks ago to create a new issue but you did that for me

This should be a request to keep the JSON files formatted

I'd like to warn that you're dealing with stuff that typically is set by an app and this is unsupported to hand edit

[DNM1008]

I understand that, but can this file be supported for hand edits in the future? Or perhaps another way in which we can set precise dimensions of the zones?

we were looking to do this for some of the v2 editor adjustments. #1032 is the tracking issue
