Smarter Semicolon

Smarter Semicolon Extension

This extension places semicolons at the end of an expression.

Multi-line (New)

This extension allows you to add in semicolons using multiple cursors all using the smart detection.

Excluded Languages (New)

This extension allows you to specify which language to stop you from putting in semi-colons. Useful for languages like python where muscle memory kicks in when you dont want it to.

Semantic Detection

This extension detects line comments and language brackets and configures the end of the current expression.

Automatic Line Change

When enabled, this extension automatically inserts a new line below the current cursor and put the cursor at the beginning of the new line on a semicolon key. The exceptions are when:

• If the current line is the only line inside a code block.
• If the below line is a code.
• If the current line has a close bracket after this expression.
• If the current line contains any of autoLineChangeExceptionKeywords (for example, you don't want to insert a new line after return, throw keywords in C#).

In case you don't want the newly-inserted line, simply putting another semicolon will cancel the insertion, and the cursor goes back to the previous position.
