Answer 2

As of VSCode 1.10, this is (sadly) not possible yet. But is an issue for a lof of the users as it seems. The VSCode theme is aware of this issue and you can follow this to know when it is implemented: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/13270

Update June 2018

Since VSCode 1.24 (June 2018) there is an option for this!

"typescript.preferences.quoteStyle": "single"

For more info see:

Answer 3

An alternative which does support this configuration is TypeScript Toolbox.

It is configurable by setting genGetSet.pathStringDelimiter, which already has the single-quote import as default.

Answer 4

Above solutions did not work for me
