Consider improving message for VS Code settings import popup
The new VS Code settings import functionality pops up with a message like this:
Some early internal users have shared that to them, this sounds like something might happen without any confirmation, i.e. folks didn’t think they would be able to intervene or have control once you decided to import.
FWIW we did research on similar functionality in Cursor and that language is even more terse, but maybe we can change the language in either the message or on the button? If you click "Import" here, what it will actually do is open a diff with both your VS Code and Positron settings. Maybe the button should say "Compare settings"?
I like the idea of Compare settings as it makes it clear I'll get to see what the differences are and also alludes to being able to select the ones I want to accept.
