As of May 2024, the native editor settings are documented fully at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_default-settings

An alternative is to use search in the settings GUI (open with CMD/Ctrl + ,).

To effortlessly access the default settings in your VSCode editor, simply enable a specific setting within the workbench. Once activated, every time you open your settings.json file, whether manually through the file explorer or via the command palette, you'll encounter a read-only display of all the default settings.

Here's a visual guide to help you:

There isn't an official maintained list of everything, but you can find some guides in the VS Code Documentation.

For theme color reference, you can see the list at Theme Color documentation.

The closest to what you want may be pressing Ctrl+, (or by using the gear menu in the bottom left), you can open a GUI that will show all configurable settings and allow you to search them. For some things, it will tell you to edit it in the settings.json instead, though. In which case, you may need to to look at the documentation for usage instructions.
