@JohnnyXP64

Have you tried opening the file using another editor other than Visual Studio?

How to change your default editor

Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Click on choose default apps by file type

---

Try using something like Visual Studio Code (the JSON schema will give you IntelliSense on possible parameters in Terminal Settings). If you don't want to install VS Code, use another text editor of choice

There currently isn't a settings UI - opening the settings file will open in whatever your default editor for .json files is.
