C# Broom

Add-on for C# Dev Tools. It does not replace it and does not work without it. It adds the broom button Visual Studio IDE has and VS Code lacks: organize usings and format the active file with one click, from anywhere in the file.

Why

C# Dev Tools already offers Remove unnecessary usings, but only through the lightbulb: you have to scroll to the top of the file and put the cursor on an unused using before Ctrl+..

What it does

The broom appears in the status bar only for these file types and hides for everything else.

Usage

• Click the broom in the status bar, or
• Press Ctrl+Alt+U

Cursor position and selection are untouched. Formatting runs every time, whether or not a using was removed.

Requirements

• C# Dev Tools, with its language server running
• VS Code 1.90 or later

Formatting uses the built-in Format Document command, so project files need a formatter registered for XML. Without one, the format step does nothing.
