Setting to explicitly write default access modifier in Visual Studio

Question

When I generate a new class, I would like to have the default access modifier written down explicitly like:

internal class Foo
{
}

instead of:

class Foo
{
}

Is that possible with a setting and if so - how?

Two things you can do:

1. Modify the class file template. This is found in you VS installation:

   <InstallRoot>\<Edition>\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Code\1033\Class
   

2. To confirm something has been specified: add the following to a .editorconfig:

   dotnet_style_require_accessibility_modifiers=always:suggestion
