VS2017在C ++中大括号缩进

Question

I have watched several C++ tutorials on Pluralsight using VS2017 and whenever the author types a pair of braces and presses enter, the cursor always appears indented and on the middle line, ready for typing to commence (see image 2 ). In my VS2017 however, the cursor always appears in front of the closing brace (see image 1 ), so I have to press enter to create a blank line between the braces, move the cursor up and then type a tab before I can start typing.

I have searched the settings in VS2017 under text editor/C++ but cannot find how to change this behaviour. It's annoying and I'm thinking there must be a way to change it.

Does anyone know how please?

Answer 1

Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> C++ >> Formatting >> General

Be sure that "Automatically format braces when they are automatically completed" is checked.

That should give you what you want
