My current VS Code setup

I tried to use the official Nim extension (as described here), but I had several problems with it.

So I switched to another Nim extension called "Nim" by nimsaem. Extension ID: nimsaem.nimvscode . Unfortunately, it was last updated years ago, but it still works better than the actively developed official extension (at least that's my impression).

On-demand code formatting

The Nim code formatter is called "nph". You can install it with nimble:

$ nimble install nph

I didn't set up to autoformat my codes upon save. When I need it, I want to call it explicitly. Right click, and select Format Document. For this to work, I installed another extension: "nph - Nim code formatter". Extension ID: arnetheduck.vscode-nph .
