Visual Studio Code formatting for “{ }”

base on @Chris Drew’s answer

  1. Go Preferences -> Settings
  2. Search for C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle
  3. Click Edit, Copy to Settings
  4. Change from “Visual Studio” to "{ BasedOnStyle: Google, IndentWidth: 4 }"

e.g.

  • "C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "{ BasedOnStyle: Google, IndentWidth: 4, ColumnLimit: 0}"
  • btw ColumnLimit: 0 is helpful too, because google limit will break your code to next line when you do not need it.
