When you want to make a different settings on a specific project, you will make .vscode/settings.json. I know how to make .vscode/settings.json. If I make that directory and file and name as .vscode and settings.json then those files will be functioning as the setting of the project of the directory.

But I'm lazy to do those all acts. Is there some simpler ways to make the settings.json file on each project directory? Like by using a shortcut key we could make the file, or just by using a button from a extension.

I think,

Select File > Preferences > Settings (or press Ctrl+,) and Select Workspace tab, and then changing any setting is the fastest way to make the .vscode/settings.json now. if you change any setting of there, immediately vscode will make the file. No other shortcut, but I think this is quite reasonable.

If you need to change some settings in vscode, vscode will make the .vscode/settings.json automatically.

In fact, I meant of Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON), now I know this. Thanks to your answer, I got to know it.
@niddddddfier If this solves your question you can mark the answer as the solution
I would like to, but this is not exact answer so I can't mark this as answer. Can u modify your answer a little bit?
@niddddddfier It is one of the other open settings commands. You would not have found it without this direction, there are many of them how would I know which one you needed, Do I need to list them all?
I think you don't need to list them all, just some which are related to your words in your answer. Well, even if you will change your answer to just Execute command: Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON) though, I will mark your answer. Because of your answer I got the great solutions.
