Order alphabetically and format settings.json:

Note 1: Unfortunately there is no in-place feature available a the moment

Note 2: Manually remove all comments (// or /* */) first; they are non-standard, bad practice and not supported by jq.

VSC_D="vscode/.config/Code/User/" VSC_J="settings.json" sh -c '\
    jq --indent 2 --sort-keys . "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}" > "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}.new" && \
        mv "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}.new" "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}"'

Order alphabetically and format argv.json:

VSC_D="vscode/.vscode/" VSC_J="argv.json" sh -c '\
    jq --indent 2 --sort-keys . "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}" > "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}.new" && \
        mv "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}.new" "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}"'

Format keybindings.json:

VSC_D="vscode/.config/Code/User/" VSC_J="keybindings.json" sh -c '\
    cat "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}" | jq --indent 2 > "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}.new" && \
        mv "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}.new" "${VSC_D}${VSC_J}"'
