I still have to format the code

[PawelPatyk]

Type: Bug

Hello,
I have been having a problem with pasting and typing code for a long time.
The issue is that when I copy a piece of code and paste, the pasted code is aligned to the left.
The same goes for going to a new line and typing a phrase - then the phrase moves to the left!
It's hard to write code like this when I constantly have to format it.

Title: "How to Fix Misaligned Code in VS Code by Enabling Format on Paste"

Hi ,

If you're struggling with misaligned code when pasting or typing in VS Code, I recommend enabling the Format on Paste feature. This has worked well for me and might help you too!

How to Enable Format on Paste
Open your VS Code settings. You can do this quickly by pressing Ctrl + , (or Cmd + , on Mac).
In the search bar, type formatOnPaste.
Look for the Editor: Format On Paste option and check the box to enable it.
Why This Works
When you enable Format on Paste, VS Code will automatically format the pasted code based on your project's formatting rules. This means:

Pasted code will align properly with the rest of your file.
You won’t need to manually fix the formatting after every paste.
Additional Tips
Make sure your formatter is configured properly. If you're using Prettier or ESLint, double-check that your configuration files (like .prettierrc or .eslintrc) match your project's style.
Customize indentation settings. In VS Code settings, ensure options like editor.tabSize and editor.insertSpaces are aligned with your preferences or the project’s standards.
If you’re still seeing issues, try disabling all extensions temporarily to rule out conflicts with formatters.
This feature has been a game-changer for me, and I hope it helps make your coding experience smoother too!

Let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything I can clarify further.

Enable the 'Format on Paste' option did nothing.
Disabling all extensions did not help.

bro you can
Check editor.formatOnType. If it's enabled, VS Code might be formatting your code automatically when you type or paste
&
A .editorconfig file or a specific linter/formatter (like Prettier or ESLint) in your project might be enforcing alignment rules.
Open .editorconfig or check your formatter settings to ensure they're not misconfigured.
&
if the issue persists, consider resetting VS Code to its default settings:
Delete or rename the settings.json file located in C:\Users<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User.
&
update it if it is not ,
last option reinstall your vs code
