How do you change the formatting options in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I know you can Format Code using Ctrl+F / Cmd+F in Visual Studio Code but how do you change the formatting options for each langu

Answer 1

You can make some changes from the "Settings". For example javascript rules start with "javascript.format". But for advanced formatting control, still need to use some extensions.

Rules settings for the format code command

Answer 2

To change specifically C# (OmniSharp) formatting settings you can use a json file:
User: ~/.omnisharp/omnisharp.json or %USERPROFILE%\.omnisharp\omnisharp.json
Workspace: omnisharp.json file in the working directory which OmniSharp has been pointed at.

Example:

{
  "FormattingOptions": {
    "NewLinesForBracesInMethods": false,
    "NewLinesForBracesInProperties": false,
    "NewLinesForBracesInAccessors": false,
    "NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousMethods": false,
    "NewLinesForBracesInControlBlocks": false,
    "NewLinesForBracesInObjectCollectionArrayInitializers": false,
    "NewLinesForBracesInLambdaExpressionBody": false
  }
}
