Q: VScode: Show a prompt when loaded files are modified externally on disk Which is the final outcome of the VScode [issue] #14298 (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/14298) ?
Is it: "No, we will NOT issue a warning, if an external app modifies a VScode opened file, like ALL other editors do ? (except Notepad)"
Up to now, I cannot find such a setting...

A: I have never seen a prompt when an open file is changed elsewhere.  What I have seen is a warning when I try to save a file that has been changed elsewhere.  I have seen this: preventing dirty writes

VS Code will show you an error message when you try to save a file
that cannot be saved because it has changed on disk. VS Code blocks
saving the file to prevent overwriting changes that have been made
outside of the editor.
In order to resolve the save conflict, click the Compare action in the
error message to open a diff editor that will show you the contents of
the file on disk (to the left) compared to the contents in VS Code (on
the right):

Until those issues have been resolved I believe that is as close as you are going to get.
