Visual studio code CSS indentation and formatting

Question

I d like to know if there is any way to activate auto indent a CSS file in visual studio code with the shortcut ALT SHIFT F   It s working fine with JavaScript but strangely not with CSS

User · Answer

To format the code in Visual Studio when you want, press: (Ctrl + K) & (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

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
