🔄 Reformat & Organize

Organize Imports & Format Files directly from the VS Code Explorer or editor tabs. ✨

Process a file, folder, editor tab, or any multi-selection in the background—without opening every file in an editor tab.

✨ Features

  • 🧹 Separate Reformat Code… and Organize Imports… commands
  • ⚡ Run Organize Imports immediately for a single file
  • 📂 Process folders and Explorer multi-selections
  • 🗂️ Right-click editor tabs (single or multi-selected) and process them directly
  • 🗃️ Multi-select files in the Open Editors view and process them
  • 🌿 Filter files using Only changed files
  • 📖 Filter files using Only open files
  • 🔗 Optionally organize imports while running Reformat Code
  • 🎯 Filter the scope with WebStorm-style file masks
  • 🖥️ Process files quietly in the background without opening editor tabs

🖥️ Editor Tabs & Open Editors

Both commands are available when you right-click a tab in the tab bar, and in the context menu of the Open Editors view:

  • 📐 Reformat Code…
  • 🧹 Organize Imports…

Select one or more tabs (Ctrl/Cmd+click), right-click and pick a command—the selected files are processed directly, no need to find them in the Explorer.

Tip: for many tabs at once, multi-select files in the Open Editors view (bottom of the Explorer sidebar) or use the Only open files scope filter instead.

🔍 Scope Filters

Both Reformat Code and Organize Imports support scope filtering when processing folders or Explorer multi-selections.

🌿 Only changed files

Processes only files reported as changed by Git, including:

  • Staged files
  • Unstaged files
  • Renamed files
  • Untracked files

Deleted files are automatically skipped.

📖 Only open files

Processes only documents currently open in the active VS Code window.

When Only changed files and Only open files are enabled together, a document must match both filters to be processed.

🎯 File masks

Use WebStorm-style masks to limit which files are processed:

*.ts, *.tsx
src/**/*.js
*.vue; *.json

Supported patterns:

  • * matches characters within one path segment
  • ? matches a single character
  • ** matches across path segments

🧹 Reformat Code

Right-click a file, folder, editor tab, or any selection (Explorer / Open Editors / tab bar) and choose Reformat Code….

You can optionally:

  • Optimize imports before formatting
  • Process only Git-changed files
  • Process only open files
  • Filter files using file masks

📦 Organize Imports

Right-click a file, folder, editor tab, or any selection (Explorer / Open Editors / tab bar) and choose Organize Imports….

  • A single selected file is processed immediately.
  • Folders and multi-selections display the scope filters.
  • Languages without an Organize Imports provider are skipped without stopping the remaining operation.

⚙️ Requirements

  • VS Code 1.85.0 or newer — the extension only relies on long-stable APIs (window.tabGroups requires VS Code 1.67+), so it works on the current release as well as many older versions.

🔧 Configuration

All settings live under the reformatAndOrganize. prefix:

Setting Type Default Description
include string *.ts, *.tsx, *.js, *.jsx, *.mjs, *.cjs, *.vue, *.json, *.jsonc, *.css, *.scss, *.less, *.html Default file mask(s) used by the scope dialog (comma-separated, WebStorm style). Supports *, ? and **.
exclude array **/node_modules/**, **/.git/**, **/dist/**, **/out/**, **/build/**, **/coverage/**, **/.next/**, **/*.min.* Glob patterns that are always skipped, even when a folder is right-clicked directly.
showDialog boolean true Show the WebStorm-like scope dialog (options + file mask) before running.
organizeImportsDuringFormat boolean false Default state of the Optimize imports checkbox in the dialog.
saveAfterEdit boolean true Save each file after it has been processed in the background. When disabled, changed files are left dirty so you can review them.
organizeImportsTimeout number 0 Maximum time in milliseconds to wait for the language server to load & analyze a background-opened file before running Organize Imports. By default (0) the extension waits as long as it takes; the progress notification's cancel button always aborts.
