From the blog post I understand that my vscode configuration is somehow stored within my browser, not connected to my github account. Is it also stored per project or globally?

Because either choice brings its own problems. I want the vim plugin to behave the same on all instances but language-specific plugins or similar only make sense in the context of a specific project. How does this work currently?

It stores settings just as usual in .vscode/settings.json in your project. (I usually have .vscode in my .gitignore, but maybe it make sense to include it in the repo.)

Additionally, there is some "Settings-Sync" feature, which I have not really explored yet. Maybe this is global for all instances.

Btw, the startup time of the codespace VM is a bit annoying. It takes approx 30-60 seconds when it was inactive. And it get automatically suspended after 30 minutes of inactivity.

In addition to project local .vscode/settings.json and the still Beta Settings Sync, it should also pick up your user settings if you set up a dotfiles repository.
