Why doesn't STM32Cube for VSCode have a code formatting feature?

[STM_student]

Why doesn't STM32Cube for VSCode have a code formatting feature? It clearly shows that “stm32cube clangd” is installed, but pressing Alt+Shift+S and selecting “Format” doesn't work. I'm using the Trae IDE.

Absolutely, but you'll need to enable it. Please refer to the relevant preferences.

I’ve encountered a similar issue before—even though clangd was already installed, pressing the shortcut key didn’t format the code.
You can start by checking the specific preferences to see if the code formatting feature is enabled.
You might also want to check if the problem started after upgrading to 3.8.0.
If it was working fine before and suddenly stopped working after the upgrade, the version change is likely worth investigating.
It’s easier to check the settings and clangd configuration first before considering a reinstallation.

I see. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

I hope you'll be able to fix it when you try it tomorrow.

It worked after all—thanks. I hadn't turned this setting on before.
