what gets migrated

{ }

settings.json

Copied verbatim. cursor.* and anysphere.* keys stripped automatically so VS Code doesn't error.

⌨

keybindings.json

All custom keyboard shortcuts copied as-is.

✂

snippets/

All per-language snippet files migrated. Existing VS Code snippets won't be overwritten without confirmation.

◈

profiles/

All named editor profiles. Great for monorepos and context-switching setups.

⬡

extensions

Installs every extension that exists on the VS Code marketplace. Cursor-only extensions (anysphere.*) are skipped automatically.

font + theme hints

Detects your editor/terminal font and color theme. Warns if they need to be installed in VS Code.
