美化源代码

You can use the experimental Beautifier plugin to format your source code by using the following external tools:

The Beautifier plugin parses the source code into component structures, such as assignment statements, if blocks, loops, and so on, and formats them as specified in the Beautifier options. You can use a predefined style or define your own style.

To use the Beautifier plugin:

Download and install the tool to use for formatting source code:
You might have to build the tools from sources for some platforms.

除了 Format Current File command, ClangFormat and Uncrustify provide additional commands. ClangFormat provides the Format at Cursor command. If you select it when no text is selected, the syntactic entity under the cursor is formatted. The Disable Formatting for Selected Text command wraps selected lines within // clang-format off and // clang-format on . Uncrustify provides the Format Selected Text command. If you select it when no text is selected, the whole file is formatted by default. To disable this behavior, deselect the Format entire file if no text was selected check box.
