Beautify c++ files on VSCode

Question

I am using VSCode 1.35.5.

I have two projects in the workspace, one .js files and another with .cpp files.

When I want to beautify a .cpp file, here is the following pop up :

From File -> Preferences -> Extensions, here are the following enabled extensions :

• Beautify from HookyQR 1.5.0
• C/C++ from Microsoft 0.23.1
• CMake 0.0.17
• ESLint 1.9.0

How can I use the Beautify extension for C++ files ?

Answer 1

• Open "Show Command Palette" with F1 or CMD + Shift + P, then write "Format Document With..." then select c/c++ selection.
• Or first select "default" then select "c/c++". In second way when you press Alt+Shift+F, you can format your C++ file.

Answer 2

• Simple go to command palette using Ctrl+Shift+P
• search "format"
• and select "Format document with"
• and simply select "C/C++"

No need for any third party formatter. And if you want to use them then just go to this link and follow the steps: Description to install clang-formatter

And while installing clang make sure to add a path to current user or to all users after installing both the clang software and the extension in VSCode. The use is same as I mention for default C/C++ formatter.
