How to set different default formatters in VSCode settings?

Question

Is it possible to set different default formatters for different languages in VSCode? I want VSCode to autodetect the language used in current file and use the appropriate editor. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You can press Ctrl + , keys to access the settings in VS Code, and then type in @lang:language-name Default Formatter (e.g @lang:html Default Formatter) or just scroll down to where it says Editor: Default Formatter and then choose the formatter for that language.
