Description Michal Niewrzal CLA 2017-09-08 05:12:39 EDT 
During recent reviews, I noticed that "Link with editor" option saves its state separately for each opened file. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. First of all it can be confusing for users to change this setting for each opened file. Second thing is that it will pollute preferences with unique nodes without an option to remove it. I believe this option should be global for LSP4E outline in general.

I agree that per-file is too fine grained for users. A per-workspace/instance setting maps user expectations better.
