Sort Imports by Line Length

Organize your imports effortlessly!

This extension helps you tidy up that bulk of imports at the top of your file, for a nicer look and feel.

• 🧹 Sort imports in ascending order by their line length for a cleaner look.

Only supports .py files for now, see Coming Soon section for more

Features

Use the command 'Sort Imports' or use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+I to sort all imports in your file

Keyboard Shortcuts

This extension provides the following default keyboard shortcuts:

• Ctrl+Alt+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Alt+I (Mac): Run the import sorter command.

Customizing Shortcuts

You can customize the keyboard shortcuts by modifying the keybindings in your keybindings.json file.

1. Go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts or press Ctrl+K Ctrl+S.
2. Search for linelength-import-sorter.sortImports.
3. Right-click the command and select Change Keybinding.
4. Enter your preferred key combination.

Alternatively, you can edit the keybindings.json file directly:

{
    "key": "Ctrl+Shift+I",
    "command": "linelength-import-sorter.sortImports",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

Coming Soon

• Sort in order of descending line length
• Sort blocks with commented imports
• Sort within a selected chunk of text
• Support for Javacript
• Support for Arial and Helvetica fonts (coming not so soon because who even codes in arial or helvetica? :)

Supported Fonts and Languages

Currently only works with python (🐍.py files) and monospace fonts

Known Issues

The imports are being recognized by string manipulation for now, so if your file has several lines in a row that start with from or import, they will be sorted. This happens only when the lines start with from or import with no other characters (except spaces) preceding them. If your lines start with "from or 'import, they will be fine and won't be sorted.
