Is there a VS Code shortcut to edit the current global "settings.json" file

I frequently have to edit my global settings.json, but not frequently enough to be able to use the open recent menu in VS Code.

Is there a key binding or single button I can press that opens my current settings.json in the current VS Code window? It's irritating to have to keep navigating to /Users/ME/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json every time.

Not by default but, if you open up File | Preferences | Keyboard Shortcuts and search for JSON, you'll find there's a Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) item that you can assign a shortcut to.

I've set mine to Alt, to make it similar to Ctrl,, the workbench setting editor.

You can, of course, also store this in your global keybindings.json:

{
    "key": "alt+,",
    "command": "workbench.action.openSettingsJson"
}
