How can I change the default launch.json file automatically created by the VS Code debugger?

Question

When I automatically create a launch.json file in the VSCode debugger (Run and Debug --> create a launch.json file) the following file is created:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Current File",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": true
        }
    ]
}

How can I change the default settings so that also the "args" key is created with some default parameters? Or how do I set "justMyCode": false by default?

NOTE that I don't want to change the global setting.json file since it will be ignored if a launch.json file is created.

Thanks!

I've tried looking with grep -l -r "justMyCode" ~/.vscode-server where this variable was set but couldn't find anything useful

see https://stackoverflow.com/a/76267381/11107541. From my testing, user settings.json's `launch` property is _combined_ with workspace launch.json instead of ignored. Does that solve your problem? — starball, Jun 23 '23 at 16:45
No, it doesn't since: 1) `launch.json` overwrites some parameters such as "justMyCode" 2) It is more useful for me if a different `launch.json` file is created, that is quite different from the default one. So that I can make minor changes for all future projects — alle, Jun 26 '23 at 08:06
