Access settings in Visual Studio 2019

Question

There is a lot about about changing setting in Visual Studio on stackoverflow. All of them start with go to 'File' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Settings'

Ref: Remove trailing spaces automatically or with a shortcut

But there is not 'Preferences' when I click on 'File' from top menu. Could anyone give advise where is settings now/how to get access to them, please

Visual Studio 2019

Thanks

You might try Tools->Options. – GTAE86 Sep 23 '20 at 13:22 — GTAE86, Sep 23 '20 at 13:22

Visual Studio (one version of which is Visual Studio 2019) is a completely different application from Visual Studio Code. Information about one will not generally be applicable to the other.

For instance, Visual Studio Code has a "preferences" submenu in its file menu, whereas Visual Studio has most of its options available under "Tools->Options". (The preferences themselves will also be different, so this isn't just a matter of finding it in a different menu.)

Yeap, I missed that VS Code is so different. Thanks – user3124812 Sep 23 '20 at 23:31 — user3124812, Sep 23 '20 at 23:31

Try Tools->Options, depending on what you wish to configure.
