VS Code extension for indenting to open brackets

Fork of https://github.com/briankendall/vscode-indent-to-bracket with added support for multiple cursors/selections.

This is a minimal extension for VS Code that implements automatic indentation to the last open bracket / parenthesis. This is essentially the same feature as the indent_to_bracket setting in Sublime Text, except that it works with most brackets, including square, and curly brackets. (Currently angle brackets are not supported.)

Basically, when you type enter to create a new line, it automatically indents your code like this:

variable = someMannerOfFunction(argument1,
                                argument2,
                                anotherArgument,
                                (someNumber +
                                 someOtherNumber))
someData = {'key': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
                    9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
            'anotherKey': {'what': 'huh?',
                           'who': 'wha?',
                           'where': 'guh?'},
            'lastKey': ('This is a string that ' \
                        'goes on too long to ' \
                        'easily fit on one line ' \
                        'if you're using some ' \
                        'weird terminal that ' \
                        'only has 52 columns ' \
                        'for some reason')

By default if any line ends with an open bracket of some sort, it will fall back on the default behavior for your current language. So it won't interfere with things like if statements or declaring functions with curly braces, and doing something like this still works:

variable = someOtherFunction(
    argument1,
    argument2,
    argument3
);

Settings indent-to-bracket.useDefaultIndentationAfterEmptyBracket to false however will make any new lines directly after an empty bracket will be indented one level beyond the previous open bracket:

testing(testing123(
            "helloooo"));

Extension Settings

indent-to-bracket.useDefaultIndentationAfterEmptyBracket: If false, then any new lines directly after an empty bracket will be indented one level beyond the previous open bracket. If true, the default vscode behaviour will be used. Defaults to true.
