When I place an open brace in Visual Studio 2017 (C#) the cursor automatically goes to the next line to the left of the end brace. Like this (period as cursor):
if() {
.}
I'd like the cursor to automatically be on its own line like this (period as cursor):
if() {
.
}
Does anybody know how to make the cursor automatically go where the period is in the second example?
If you want to automatically place the cursor inside the curly braces (i.e. without any shortcut), you can enable that from Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Formatting -> (check) Automatically format braces when they are automatically completed.
Of course, this is for C/C++. I don't use C# so I haven't tried for C#, but it should be similar, probably Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Code Style -> Formatting -> (check) Automatically format block on } (please correct me if I'm wrong).
