Reformats braces (and others) as you type.
Spaces braces {}, parentheses (), brackets [], and angle brackets <> as you type.
When { is typed to create a pair of curly braces, the following appears with the cursor in between the two braces.
{|}
^cursor
Pressing space once by default gives the following:
{ |}
^cursor
By installing this extension, it autoformats to:
{ | }
^cursor
Removing the space returns the braces to the original state:
{|}
^cursor
The extension works with multiple cursors, however all cursors must either be in a position to space or unspace. Otherwise, normal behaviour will be preserved.
All options are by default enabled.
spaces-inside-braces.enable: enable/disable the extension.spaces-inside-braces.enableForBraces: enable/disable spacing for braces.spaces-inside-braces.enableForParens: enable/disable spacing for parentheses.spaces-inside-braces.enableForBrackets: enable/disable spacing for brackets.spaces-inside-braces.enableForAngle: enable/disable spacing for angle brackets.
Pressing delete in the following configuration results in the cursor getting reset.
{| }
^cursor
to
{ | }
