How to fix auto indent not working in Visual Studio Code - visual-studio-code

I set 'Full' on Auto Indent option
enter image description here
But this option does not work when I add new line in any file, and no matter what language I'm using.
enter image description here
I think when I press enter to add new line right after brackets or something, the editor should add tab automatically.
This is vscode running on other computer:

I deleted everything in setting.json file, but this problem is still appear.
How do I fix it?
(Sorry for my bad English. I'm not good at it :()


In VS Code, head to Settings and search for tabSize. Uncheck the checkbox "Editor: Detect Indentation" and set a preferred value for "Editor: Tab Size" (e.g. 4). Restart VS Code and it should work.

vscode ignores indent settings and goes back to tabs

I have some troubles with my vscode settings. I have the following settings:
detect indentation: false
insert spaces: True
tab size: 4
But anytime I focus out of vscode it will automatically change to tabs as indents for my python code!
I have recorded it and uploaded it to youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ddf3IP8zNY. Here you can see in the bottom right corner that tabs are choosen as indent. I changed them to spaces and go into settings to check that all settings are correct to have spaces as indent but as soon as i close settings it goes back to tabs!
What am I missing?

Try turning on Editor: Detect Indentation
I'm still not 100% sure what you're trying to solve here.

How do you hide the indent arrows in Visual Studio Code?

I recently opened vscode and saw this arrow showing up when I highlight indents.
I think it has something to do with the font I'm using. How do I hide it?

look up whitespace in settings; there's an option to show it all the time, only when highlighted, or never.
I believe the default annoyingly changed to 'when highlighted' in the most recent version, so you can switch it back to never.
edit as per comment below:
the exact setting is editor.renderWhitespace

Visual Studio Code Version: 1:30.0 - How do I move Terminal output to the bottom

I can't find this in the documentation. Currently, when I click Terminal > New Terminal, it appears to the right of the IDE. I prefer to see this at the bottom. How do I move it to the bottom please? I have looked but I do not understand all the Newspeak.

You can right-click on Terminal and choose Move Panel to Bottom option, as you can see here:

If you go to settings there is an option to put the terminal on the bottom or right. You can change it there. If you are actually editting the settings.json file look for "workbench.panel.defaultLocation" statement and change it to "bottom"

Tab key is not working in visual studio code

Tab key is not working for abbreviation in visual studio code.I have tried lot.How can I fix the problem?I am frustrated.Thinking of using Bracket instead of visual studio code.

In my case
Using (Ctrl + M) return Tab button to its normal working status.

I think you may be asking about this setting:
// Insert snippets when their prefix matches. Works best when
'quickSuggestions' aren't enabled.
"editor.tabCompletion": true,
That is set to false by default, change it to true.

Don't change any keyboard shortcut or something else. You should change the language mod right bottom on the editor. It was selected javascript by default. You should change with Javascript React after that this changes all emmets suggestions is working.

For Visual Studio code version 1.33, go to File > Preferences > Settings Search for tabcompletion and by default it is off, select on, that is it, you are done.

Pressing Ctrl+M did not disable the mode for me, however the right side of the bar along the bottom of vs-code shows Tab Moves Focus as enabled, which you can click to disable.

How do I turn on text wrapping by default in VS Code

Usually when I use VS Code, very first thing I do on new document is command: "Toggle Word Wrap" or Alt+Z. I tried looking into User Settings, but I didn't find any relevant entries. Is there some way to have text wrapping 'on' for every document by default?

The setting is now "editor.wordWrap": "on", which should be set to "on" (the default value is "off").
Switching to "on" activates word wrap on all documents in Visual Studio Code.
See the release notes about Word Wrap changes for more info.

Version 1.32.3
If you don't want to edit any files you can just turn it on under user settings:
Code > Preferences > Settings > Text Editor
Type "wordwrap" in the search or scroll to bottom of the list just before the cursor section. You'll see it as "Word Wrap / Controls how lines should wrap."

Have a look at the setting editor.wrappingColumn (see the docs for more information)
Update 2017-04-06:
Recently the setting changed (see here) to editor.wordWrap with several options:
We therefore decided to deprecate editor.wrappingColumn (with its -1,
0, >0 cases) in favor of editor.wordWrap.
Here are the new word wrap options:
editor.wordWrap: "off" - Lines will never wrap.
editor.wordWrap: "on" - Lines will wrap at viewport width.
editor.wordWrap: "wordWrapColumn" - Lines will wrap at the value of editor.wordWrapColumn.
editor.wordWrap: "bounded" - Lines will wrap at the minimum of viewport width and the value of editor.wordWrapColumn.

In 2020, here are simple steps to do it.
Click on 'File' on the top menu.
Click on 'Preferences' --> 'Settings'.
Scroll a little bit until you find 'Editor: Word Wrap'.
Click on the dropdown menu and choose 'on'.
Done. Settings will be saved by default.
Hope this helps.

So easy. This solution worked for me.
Click on 'File' on the top menu.
Click on 'Preferences' --> 'Settings'.
Search Word Wrap in the search box then you will see Editor: Word Wrap.
Click on the dropdown menu and choose 'on'.
It will definitely work.
Thank You.

Firstly go to the setting-> the search on search box word wrap-> then on the word wrap option.

Open User Settings Json and add ( As shown in the image below)
"editor.wordWrap": "on",

Press ctrl + , from the keyboard.
This will take you to the settings tab.
Type word wrap in the search tab.
Click on Editor: Word Wrap drop down.
Select on.
You are done.
See the image and follow the red boxes.

caw5v's answer mentions that word wrapping would not work if accessibility is on.
But that will change with VSCode 1.73 (Oct. 2022):
We disable word wrap when accessibility is turned on.
I would remove this limitation due to three reasons
User feedback
Now the status bar is accessible and Ctrl + g announces line number so it is much easier to figure out what line you are on
WordWrap is off by default if the user turns it on he or she should be aware of it
This is now the new policy available today in VSCode Insiders:
If you activate Word Wrap, it will be active even if Accessibility mode is on.

For those still having issues, make sure to check if 'Accessibility Support' is on. While "on" word wrapping can be disabled if a screen reader is detected.
settings > user&workspace > accessibility support
This worked for me. I run two additional monitors, however, I use an m1 macbookpro so support for two monitors is not available. To solve this I use a displaylink connection. Vscode appears to identify my displaylink connection as an accessibility screen reader.
