Visual Studio Code — Insert New Line at the End of Files

 There are two easy methods to make Visual Studio Code insert a new line at the end of files:

Method I

  1. Open Visual Studio Code and go to File (Code if using a Mac) -> Preferences -> Settings; you should now be viewing a settings page

  2. Enter 'insert final newline' in to the search bar

  3. Select the checkbox under the heading 'Files: Insert Final Newline' in the 'Workspace Settings' and/or 'User Settings' tab(s) as required

Settings Page with 'Files: Insert Final Newline' checkbox selected

Method II

  1. Open Visual Studio Code and go to File (Code if using a Mac) -> Preferences -> Settings; you should now be viewing a settings page

  2. Open the JSON settings page by clicking the {} icon at the top right of the page

  3. Enter 'files.insertFinalNewline' in to the search bar of the JSON settings page

  4. Either

    • Click on the white 'edit pen' on the left hand side of the line containing the files.insertFinalNewline JSON key and select True

    or

    • Copy the line containing the files.insertFinalNewline JSON key, paste it into the right hand side JSON file under the 'User Settings' and/or 'Workspace Settings' tab(s) as required, and set its value to true

User Settings JSON with <code>files.insertFinalNewline</code> set to <code>true</code>

Final Result

In either your User Settings or Workspace Settings JSON file, you should have a line reading "files.insertFinalNewline": true, within the provided curly braces ({ }). Additionally, in the Settings page, the checkbox under the heading 'Files: Insert Final Newline' will be selected.

Visual Studio Code will now add an empty line to the end of files when being saved, if there isn't already one.
