there is no selection formatter for 'cpp'-files installed












0















I want to use ctrl+K ctrl+F in vscode to auto align my .cpp codes, but it doesn't work with hint "there is no selection formatter for 'cpp'-files installed", however, when I copy the code to Formatting part of Interactive Playground in vscode, it works. why? that's strange?

          You need to install a beautifier extension that supports cpp.
          The best I've found is this: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp
          Ctrl-Shift-X brings you to extensions, search for "beautify c++" and select "C/C++ 0.20.1" from the result list.
