Description
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run
:set tabstop=7 - Observe the changed settings.json
Expected behavior
The tabstop/tabsize setting should only have been changed for the current buffer/document.
If I wanted a global change I would have edited the settings.json myself.
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.18.8
- VSCode version: 1.53 insiders

Start by reproducing :set tabstop=7 in the VSCodeVim extension with the reported versions, then trace the command handling and the update that changes settings.json. Done means tabstop changes only for the current buffer/document and does not persist as a global setting.
