I've always been modifying my Flake8 settings through a file named 'settings.json' located inside the .vscode folder. This file is automatically generated when you choose a linter.
However, for the past few weeks, I've been receiving a warning from VSCode that says: "This setting will soon be deprecated. Please use the Flake8 extension. Learn more here: https://aka.ms/AAlgvkb ."
From the provided link, I understand that Flake8 should be used as an extension, but it doesn't explain how to modify settings in another way.
Here's an example of my 'settings.json' file:
{
"python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
"python.linting.enabled": true,
"python.linting.flake8Args": [
"--max-line-length=120"
]
}
You can use this setting, more configuration information here.

],
