I just started using Visual Studio Code and felt this requirement myself yesterday. After a quick google search I found this nice extension called "Prettier". Being a little new to VSCode it took me a few hours to get it all setup but it works like a charm now. Here are the steps and my setup. I hope it helps others.

My coding environment: VSCode running on a Windows 10 desktop environment connecting to my codebase SMB share hosted on my development machine which is running Ubuntu server 18.04.

Solution Steps

• Install node on the Windows desktop
• Run, npm install -g prettier
• Install the Prettier extension in VSCode

• Edit the settings.json file for VSCode and add the following

      "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
       "[javascript]": {
            "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
       }
      // Set the default
      "editor.formatOnSave": true
  

• Add the .prettierrc file at the root of my codebase on the ubuntu host (e.g.: /var/www/html/tutorials) with the following basic styling configuration

    {
      "semi": true,
      "trailingComma": "all",
      "singleQuote": true,
      "printWidth": 80
    }

• Restart VSCode and open the code file
• Use the existing VSCode keyboard shortcuts to apply formatting to the entire file (Ctrl+K Ctrl+F) or to a selection (Shift+Alt+F)
• Or simply saving the file Ctrl+S adds the formatting while saving the file with no additional work required
• Viola!

Now there is an extension called Colonize:

Shift+Enter Insert semicolon at the end of line and continue on the same line

Alt+Enter Insert semicolon at the end of line and continue on the new line

Ctrl+Alt+Enter Insert semicolon and stay at the same position

Answer 5

There is no way to do it by default that I could find. I just had to make do as best I could.

I ended up adding a binding via File>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts, and then pressing ; after the shortcut. Having the semicolon is part of the binding is as close as I could get... at least my finger is already over that key

// Place your key bindings in this file to overwrite the defaults
[
    {
        "key": "ctrl+;",
        "command": "cursorEnd",
        "when": "editorTextFocus"
    }
]

This simply means that Ctrl+; brings you to the end of the line, and then tap ; again.

I know this is a really old post but Prettier - code formatter for vs code adds the semi colon (amongst other formatting).

ext install esbenp.prettier-vscode
