[visual-studio-code] Visual Studio Code: How to show line endings

How can i display lineendings (CR,LF) in Visual Studio Code (not in Visual Studio).

I use following settings, but non of them show the line endings.

"editor.renderWhitespace": true,
"editor.renderControlCharacters": true,
"editor.renderIndentGuides": true

Is there a setting for lineendings?

Edit 1: I've opened a issue on GitHub: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/12223

Edit 2: Soham Kamani made an extensions for this: code-eol

This question is related to visual-studio-code

The answer is


There's an extension that shows line endings. You can configure the color used, the characters that represent CRLF and LF and a boolean that turns it on and off.

If you want to set it to LF as default, you can go to File->Preferences->Settings and under user settings you can paste this line in below your other user settings.

"files.eol": "\n"

For example.

"git.confirmSync": false,
"window.zoomLevel": -1,
"workbench.activityBar.visible": true,
"editor.wordWrap": true,
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
"window.menuBarVisibility": "default",
"vsicons.projectDetection.autoReload": true,
"files.eol": "\n"

Render Line Endings is a VS Code extension that is still actively maintained (as of Apr 2020):

It can be configured like this:

{
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    "code-eol.newlineCharacter": "¬",
    "code-eol.returnCharacter" : "¤",
    "code-eol.crlfCharacter"   : "¤¬",
}

and looks like this:

AFAIK there is no way to visually see line endings in the editor space, but in the bottom-right corner of the window there is an indicator that says "CLRF" or "LF" which will let you set the line endings for a particular file. Clicking on the text will allow you to change the line endings as well.
