For me, Esc + Enter works

Parentheses help:

julia> (1+2
       +3
       +4 + 5)
15

But to define a struct as in the example, you just need to ENTER after each line.

On WIndows you can Shft+Alt+Enter , it’s the same as Esc+Enter, but I find it more smooth.

Cool!

Very smooth thx. I think Julia vs code should add this shortcut in the official document.

Yes, thx!

I find in vs code, Alt + Enter also works.

Note that the result may not be the same as when using parentheses:

julia> 1+2
       +3
       +4 + 5
9

while the “correct” result is: 15

Maybe you know but to have addition (or other operations like multiplication) work across multiple lines, the operator needs to be at the end of each line:

julia> 1+2+
       +3+
       +4 + 5
15

(The reason for the result 9 in the other case is that this is the result of the last line.)

Using parentheses is simpler, as the plus can be anywhere.
