VSCode: Add newline between braces after pressing Enter

Question

I want an indented newline after typing opening bracket and pressing Enter in VSCode.

Here's an example where | is the cursor:

Current behaviour-

function f() {
|}

Behaviour wanted-

function f() {
  |
}

The behaviour I want is the default one, but I don't know what happened and it doesn't work like that now. I couldn't find a solution to it, so I'm asking here. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Finally, I found the issue. In settings.json somehow I had this included.

"editor.language.brackets": [
    
]

But by default it's not there, or rather this is the default setting:

"editor.language.brackets": [
    ["[", "]"],
    ["(", ")"],
    ["{", "}"]
]

TLDR: Just remove it.
