Just to update this, the Julia VSCode extension now does use JuliaFormatter (since v1.5.0 of the extension). It’s configured by placing a [`.JuliaFormatter.toml` file](https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/config/) in the workspace, and run just by calling ”[format document](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_formatting)” in VSCode.
