[Feature Request] Appending settings in project #1935
Description
When I need some common parameters ("args" field) and some "project specific" parameters, I have to copy all the common ones into my project settings.
If there is any way to append/override some default settings, this would be helpful.
Example:
SublimeLinter:
{
"linters": {
"mylinter": {
"args": ["-c", "common_args", "-o", "override_args"],
},
},
}Project:
{
"settings": {
"SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.args.override": [
"-a", "additional_args"
"-o", "project_override_args",
],
},
}

It would be
"SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.args.append"from my understanding. From the implementation side, the key of the setting then isargs.append, and you could also choose"SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.additional_args"orextend_args, you get it, everything after the prefix is the key name of just another setting. That would be my perspective on it right now.The implementation would be a trivial one-liner probably, plus a lot more for the unit tests. Bike-shedding the name is probably difficult.

I think we should go with
"SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.+args"(I prefer that over"SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.args+"). It should denote that it appends to args, "+args" == additional args, or "args +args" which is what we literally would do in the code. This can be expanded to some other settings, namely "excludes", "filter_errors", and "env".
