   Hi @arita37 - this is already possible, to some extent. If you look at the logs when code-server starts, it uses a config file somewhere on your machine like: ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

   

   Here's what the file looks like:

   bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8080
   auth: password
   password: helloworld
   cert: false

   Any flag that the CLI accepts should be configurable in the yaml file. Hope that helps! Please reopen if I misunderstood and you need something else!

   A few things you can do:

   • you could write a script that installs extensions like so: code-server --install-extension ms-python.python (see more)
   • you could reuse your VS Code configuration (see more) (i.e. for dark mode or a theme) and it should work for shortcuts as well
