Description

I'm using axe Accessibility Linter VS Code extension and I'd like to configure a few settings for the extension, across all projects.

I don't want to add `axe-linter.yml` to any of my projects as I don't want/cannot push the usage of this tool to other people on these projects. I also don't want to have to copy-paste the `axe-linter.yml` file to all of the projects I'm working on, one by one and have to do this again in the future for every new project.

Is there a way to specify global configuration?



axe-core version: X.Y.Z
axe-webdriver, extension or other integration version: X.Y.Z

Research direction

Start by checking how the VS Code extension discovers and loads axe-linter.yml and whether user-level configuration is supported. Confirm the expected global-versus-project configuration behavior and identify the relevant extension documentation or entry point; done means a documented global configuration mechanism or a clear explanation of its absence.
