 | `cmake.configureOnOpen` | Automatically configure CMake project directories when they are opened. | `true` | no |
 | `cmake.configureSettings` | An object containing `key:value` pairs, which will be passed to CMake when configuring. The same as passing `-DVAR_NAME=ON` via `cmake.configureArgs`. NOTE: If you are setting an array argument within `cmake.configureSettings`, you should use array notation, i.e. `"CONFIGURE_SETTINGS_LIST": [ "a", "b" ]` | `{}` (no values) | yes |
 | `cmake.copyCompileCommands`| If not `null`, copies the `compile_commands.json` file generated by CMake to the path specified by this setting whenever CMake successfully configures. |  `null` (do not copy the file) | yes |
