VSCode: keeping indents on empty lines

Question

Is it possible to make VSCode keep indents on empty lines?

Could not find such a setting neither natively nor in "Beautify" extension.

Example of desired behavior:

UPDATE: eventually I've just switched to Prettier - and never had to think about code style again as it's just being formatted automatically for me.

Answer 1

Go to File > Preferences > Settings. On the right side, add the line:

,"editor.trimAutoWhitespace": false 

It worked for me perfectly.

Answer 2

Bit of an old question, but I found that a combination of the settings:

"editor.trimAutoWhitespace": false, "editor.renderWhitespace": "all" 

...worked for me.
