Newline formatting options

Looking for a way to configure auto-format for newlines. I’m a fan of this structure:

void foo() {
    if (something) {
        bar();
    } else {
        baz();
    }
}

However the current auto-format will place all my curly braces on a new line. I’ve noticed that both TypeScript and JavaScript have the options placeOpenBraceOnNewLineForControlBlocks and placeOpenBraceOnNewLineForFunctions.

In the meantimes we could create omnisharp.json which contains many property about omnisharp, and then restart omnisharp

This is what I use

{
	"FormattingOptions": {
		"NewLinesForBracesInLambdaExpressionBody": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousMethods": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousTypes": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInControlBlocks": true, // You need to change this
		"SpaceAfterControlFlowStatementKeyword": false,
		"SpaceAfterComma": false
	}
}

However I would also support that omnisharp should also add vscode config contribution point

If you’re like me (and I know I am) you want the brackets on the same line for everything, not just control blocks. Here’s the full listing for all of the common squirrely bracket cases.

1. Put this in the base of your project as omnisharp.json
2. open the command palette and run Omnisharp: Restart Omnisharp.

{
	"FormattingOptions": {
		"NewLinesForBracesInLambdaExpressionBody": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousMethods": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousTypes": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInControlBlocks": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInTypes": false,
		"NewLinesForBracesInMethods": false,
                "NewLinesForBracesInProperties": false,
                "NewLinesForBracesInAccessors": false,
		"NewLineForElse": false,
		"NewLineForCatch": false,
		"NewLineForFinally": false
	}
}

Omnisharp doesn’t presently reload the omnisharp.json files automatically, so if you make changes while you’re in the editor, you’ll have to restart Omnisharp again.

It’s possible that I missed a couple of NewLine settings for edge cases. The formatting options don’t seem to be documented anywhere, but you can see them all in the code: http://source.roslyn.codeplex.com/#Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces/Formatting/CSharpFormattingOptions.cs,dac739b7b8a53984

HURRAY! This was the only thing left that was still bugging me about vscode. Thanks @Thaina for the PROTIP.
