Smarter way to add (and autoclose) brackets

[EmmanuelBeziat]

Hi,

Here’s a feature request for a thing I miss from SublimeText: opening a {  / [ and have it automatically closed after an indented part of code.

Here’s the behavior that I expect:

And what we got in VSC at the moment:

Of course, this should obviously work with a bigger part of code, as long as it's indented, and for any language.

Many thanks!

Hi,

Is there any plan to implement this yet ? Thanks :)

Note: the bracket functionality is not very well advertised in the description, but it does work.

Right now our auto closing feature doesn't take language semantics into account. Let's track this issue in #6841 which is the earliest issue. Thanks for your feedback!
