Schema XML verifies the full key list. Folder manager and services get their own schemas too. Keep backup to dconf dump.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Code?
Dump the Code schemas with the editor closed. Open files, folders and active project travel as keys. Restoring means loading the dump before launch.
Is there a session file?
No. Session paths persist as dconf keys like opened files and active project. The schema XML lists every key for scripting. Dump the schemas instead of hunting folders.
