You may be right. I run into most of my formatting issues, when I use my MacBook from my sofa using VS Code. I finally came up with a workable option since I use "parrells" with my mac, so I've put notepad ++ in the windows partition, then it's always available when I'm in my mac. I prefer to use VS Code when using my mac, but thats not always a workable solution.

hmmm, hadn't thought about that

LOL, I thought I was the only one doing that.
