In Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8 and later, you can configure the Format Document command (Edit > Advanced > Format Document) to perform additional code cleanup on a file, such as remove and sort usings or apply code-style preferences. VS for Mac Product Manager Rajen Kishna replied: 'Our goal with Visual Studio for Mac is to create a native IDE for Mac users with workloads that make sense on macOS. That means 'desktop app' development will target macOS and Visual Studio (on Windows) can be used to target Windows. Reported by Dean Faizal Jun 21, 2017 at 05:19 PM visual studio for mac. I'm switching c# code style from custom to K&R but VS for Mac isn't saving it. Even switching between tabs will show that it reverts back to (Custom). Visual Studio code allows user can customize the default settings. If you want to auto format your content while saving add this below code snippet in work space settings of visual studio code.

What is the equivalent of Ctrl + K + F and Ctrl + K + D on Windows in Visual Studio for formatting, or 'beautifying' code in the Visual Studio Code editor?

Mdmath allows to use Visual Studio Code as a markdown editor capable of typesetting and rendering TeX math. In fact it now reuses the built in markdown viewer. In fact it now reuses the built in markdown viewer.

The code formatting is available in Visual Studio Code through the following shortcuts:
Alternatively, you can find the shortcut, as well as other shortcuts, through the search functionality provided in the editor with Ctrl +Shift+ P (or Command + Shift + P on Mac), and then searching for format document.

For Fedora
Mine read
'key': 'ctrl+shift+i'
You can change it as well. Refer to this answer on how to.. or if you are feeling a little lazy to scroll up:
You can add a keybinding in 'Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts'
{ 'key': 'cmd+k cmd+d', 'command': 'editor.action.format' }
Or Visual Studio like:
{ 'key': 'ctrl+k ctrl+d', 'command': 'editor.action.format' }
Please note: cmd key is only for Macs. For Windows and Fedora (Windows keyboard) use Ctrl
EDIT:
As per Visual Code version
1.28.2 this is what I found.
editor.action.format no longer exists. It has now been replaced by editor.action.formatDocument and editor.action.formatSelection .
Type
editor.action.format in the search box to view existing shortcuts.
To change the key combinations follow these steps:

On Linux it is Ctrl + Shift + I.
On Windows it is Alt + Shift + F. Tested with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Visual Studio Code 1.18.0.
For other languages, you might need to install a specific language package.

Visual Studio Code 1.6.1 supports 'Format On Save' which will automatically pick up relevant installed formatter extensions and format the whole document on each save.
Enable 'Format On Save' by setting
And there are available keyboard shortcuts (Visual Studio Code 1.7 and above):
Format the whole document: Shift + Alt + F
Format Selection only: Ctrl + K, Ctrl + F

Just right-click on the text and select 'Format code'.
Visual Studio Code uses Peter Mortensen
js-beautify internally, but it lacks the ability to modify the style you wish to use. The extension 'beautify' lets you add settings.

For some reason Alt + Shift + F didn't work for me on Mac Visual Studio Code 1.3.1, and actually the command 'Format Document' don't worked at all. But command Formatter worked very well.
So you can use Command + Shift + P and type Formatter or make your own shortcut in menu File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts → Command + KCommand + S then type Formatter and add your shortcut.
See an example:

The format shortcut in C# didn't work for me until I installed Mono for Mac OS X, DNVM and DNX.
Before I installed Mono, the auto-format shortcut (Shift + Alt + F) worked only for the Peter Mortensen

On Mac, Shift + Alt + F works for me.
You can always check the key bindings in the menu:
Menu File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts and filter by keyword 'format'.

While changing the default behavior for Visual Studio Code requires an extension, you may override the default behavior in the workspace or user level. It works for most of the supported languages (I can guarantee HTML, JavaScript, and C#).

When you enter the semicolon, it's going to be formatted.
Alternatively, you can also use rotgers
'editor.formatOnSave': true .

Default this key was not working for me on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript documents.
After searching, I found the popular plugin JS-CSS-HTML Formatter with 133,796 installs.
After installation just reload the windows and hit Ctrl + Shift + F, and it worked!

If you want to custom the style of format-document, you should use Beautify extention.

You have to install the appropriate plug-in first (i.e., XML, C#, etc.).
Formatting won't become available until you've installed the relevant plugin, and saved the file with an appropriate extension.

For those that want to customize what JavaScript files to format, you can use the any extension on the
JSfiles property. The same applies to HTML.
This will enable beautify on save for TypeScript, and you can add in XML to the HTML option.
