code auto formatting

[amigo421]

not sure that question is cpp extension responsibility

I'm reading this
there is such triggers:

• editor.formatOnSave - to format when you save your file.
• editor.formatOnType - to format as you type (triggered on the ; character).

however in other IDEs is more native trigger (for CPP) - closing bracket "}"
this symbol usually triggers to re-format whole code block above

is it possible to set up this symbol as a trigger for activate a formatting ?

Yes, it's possible to auto-format on }, but our clang-tidy formatting mode doesn't support that -- it looks like our vcFormat mode may support that, but I haven't tried it out. I don't remember exactly why } wasn't not supported for clang-format, but we have a feature request possibly adding that support at #1419 .
