@emptydubSep 01.2022 — #This is the beauty of VS Code, it's developed with use cases at it's core so to be unambiguous yet still an excellent tool for any number of the developing tracks - where plugins/extensions can be added as needed. Otherwise it would contain too many unused functions for you or I. It allows you to tailor it to the way you use it... if later you wish to go another way, remove and add extensions as you see fit and your editor. It will still (most likely) be lighter weight than an all-encompassing or niche editor.
So, no, it's not built in for these reasons.
Can you format code in VS Code without an extension?
I’d rather not install extra extensions, though Prettier looks like a good option. Does Visual Studio Code support native code formatting?
