Settings to copy paste with correct indentation in Visual Studio Code

When I copy and paste a piece of code using Visual Studio Code, after pressing enter to create a new line, the following happens:

It seems to keep the indentation created by the new line, adding the previous information from the copied snippet on top of it. I'd rather the code was auto-beautified on paste.

Can this behavior be changed through settings?

EDIT: I'm not referring to cross-platform copy-pasting, I'm referring to copying and pasting within the same file in Visual Studio Code.

Solution

  • This is already integrated in vscode with "editor.formatOnPaste": true property in settings.
