If you came across this question as I did because you were redirected because of this question VSCode : disable formatting of a specific file (or extension) which says, this is a duplicate (I don't feel so, because I wanted it for a specific file) and you're looking for a "one-time" solution:

CTRL + K CTRL + SHIFT + S 

(simply keep CTRL pressed and then type K + SHIFT + S).

On OS X the default keybinding is

CMD + k then press s
