I was about to create the very same issue. I only work in devcontainer (for a clean python env) and I have to re-enter the api key at every mod or new container image. If we can have it in the user/settings that will save me time.

I use GitHub codespace Whenever I create new codespace I have to enter API key again and again which is just time wasting!

I'll work on a PR for this. How about a checkbox to enable saving to vscode settings instead of the ~/.wakatime.cfg file?

@alanhamlett How are the works on the PR?

For those who use Devcontainers, you can bind .wakatime.cfg:

"runArgs": [
  "-v",
  "${env:HOME}/.wakatime.cfg:/root/.wakatime.cfg"
],

"runArgs": [
  "-v",
  "${env:HOME}/.wakatime.cfg:/root/.wakatime.cfg"
],

Which file is this to be added to? Trying to add it to devcontainer.json lints with "Property runArgs is not allowed."
