Disable ALL Auto Formatting on Save in VSCode

I'm editing someone else's code and I only want to change 1 line of a 9000 line file. But every time I save, VS Code formats the entire file and removes any trailing white space. This is a no-no because when I push this up, the reviewer will have no idea which line to look at.

I've tried disabling prettier, adding all files to .prettierignore, going into VS Code settings and disabling any suggestions of a formatter or white space trimming, turning off formatOnSave.

Here is my .vscode/settings.json

{
  "prettier.disableLanguages": [
    "js",
    "json",
    "javascript"
  ],
  "javascript.format.enable": false,
  "typescript.format.enable": false,
  "json.format.enable": false,
  "html.format.enable": false,
  "emmet.showAbbreviationSuggestions": false,
  "css.validate": false,
  "editor.defaultFormatter": null,
  "editor.formatOnSave": false,
  "[javascript]": {
      "editor.formatOnSave": false,
      "editor.defaultFormatter": null
  },
  "editor.trimAutoWhitespace": false,
  "diffEditor.ignoreTrimWhitespace": false,
  "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": false,
  "files.trimFinalNewlines": false,
  "eslint.format.enable": false,
  "files.autoSave": "off",
}

The only thing that seems to work is if I do CTRL + SHIFT + P, then SAVE WITHOUT FORMATTING. But what setting can I have so I can just do that with normal saving?

Solution

  • Had the same problem, just bind 'cmd + s' to saving without formatting. press cmd+shift+p then search for save without formatting and click on the configure icon, then bind it with 'cmd + s', problem gone :)
