VSCode: show default settings

Problem

Previously, when editing the Preferences in VSCode, the available options where shown on the left, like this: enter image description here

But suddenly, the available options are gone, and it's just like editing an ordinary JSON file: enter image description here

Question

How to get the available options back?

Set workbench.settings.useSplitJSON to true.

This was changed in the January 2019 release. From the notes:

If you really miss the split JSON editor with the default settings on the left, you can restore it by enabling the workbench.settings.useSplitJSON setting. Note that you will always be able to edit settings as JSON if that's what you prefer.

also,

You can still see the listing of default settings with the Open Raw Default Settings command.
