This is really similar to what Robert Engels said, and may be the same
thing. Anyway, this definitely works in VSCode to have the editor leave
your file along when you save to disk.
Ha! Problem solved. (And I am so embarrassed)In the documentation for
the extension, they document exactly how to disable the reformatting on
save.
Formatting and organizing imports are enabled by default. You can choose to
disable them by configuring the following settings."[go]": {
"editor.formatOnSave": false,
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.organizeImports": false
}
}
I tried it, and it works.
