To deactivate automatic code formatting in Visual Studio Code, we can follow these steps:
- Open Visual Studio Code.
- Go to File > Preferences > Settings (or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + , )
- In the search bar at the top, type “format on save” and look for the setting “Editor: Format On Save”.
- Uncheck the checkbox next to “Editor: Format On Save” to deactivate automatic code formatting on save.
After completing these steps, Visual Studio Code will no longer automatically format our code when we save a file.
