There are several to pick from in the gallery but the one I m using  which offers considerable level of configurability still remaining unobtrusive to the rest of the settings is Beautify by Michele Melluso  It works on both CSS and SCSS and lets you indent 3 spaces keeping the rest of the code at 2 spaces  which is nice   You can snatch it from GitHub and adapt it yourself  should you feel like it too

I recommend using Prettier as it s very extensible but still works perfectly out of the box   1  CMD   Shift   P - gt  Format Document   or  1  Select the text you want to Prettify 2  CMD   Shift   P - gt  Format Selection

To format the code in Visual Studio when you want  press   Ctrl   K   amp   Ctrl   F   The auto formatting rules can be found and changed in  Tools Options --   Left sidebar   Text Editor   CSS  or whatever other language you want to change   For the CSS language the options are unfortunately very limited  You can also make some changes in       Text Editor   All Languages
