Request Overview

Hi,
I’d like to suggest a feature enhancement for the CMake Tools extension in VSCode: Expose cmake.configureSettings and cmake.debugConfig as editable fields in the extension’s sidebar UI.
These two configuration blocks are among the most commonly used in CMake Tools and currently, users must manually edit .vscode/settings.json, which is error-prone and not beginner-friendly. A visual interface would:1。Reduce syntax errors and JSON formatting issues;2.Make it easier to toggle options, set paths, and pass arguments
