  • VSCode Version: 1.10.2
  • OS Version: Win7/Win10

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Select multiple lines c code
  2. Press "Space" key. The code are deleted. -> I just want to code indents a line, not delete code.

Will you support this feature? It's helpful for coding. Thanks.

Microsoft/vscode-cpptools extension doesn't support this feature, so file the request here.

@vscpp said Source Insight supports this feature. I was thinking an extension could implement this via workspace/applyEdit in the didChange, but I don't think it belongs in the C++ extension. VS Code supports indenting multiple lines via increments of a tab, but not a single space.

workaround:

  • make a multiline selection
  • split it into multiple cursors (shift+alt+i)
  • press Home to go to the line starts
  • press Space to insert a space on each line

This feature request will not be considered in the next 6-12 months roadmap and as such will be closed to keep the number of issues we have to maintain actionable. Thanks for understanding and happy coding!
