I am cleaning up java code in vscode to make it more readable. When I format my document there are instances when vscode inserts new line character when I don't want it. Here I show 2 examples of when it does that.
1.
I write:
```
~~if(a = 1) b = true;~~
```
When I format document vscode inserts new line before "b" like so:
```
~~if(a = 1)~~
b = true;
```
2.
When I have a function with a lot of parameters which makes it very long (more than 120 characters, maybe?) it inserts new line in between parameters. Say I write:
```java
a = abc(this_, function, takes, very1, very2, very3, very5, many, parameters);
```
and vscode formats it like so:
```java
a = abc(this_, function, takes, very1, very2, very3,
very5, many, parameters);
```
**How can I stop vscode from insert all of these new lines that I didn't ask for?**

Prevent vscode from inserting new lines in the middle of my code on format.

I am cleaning up java code in vscode to make it more readable. When I format my document there are instances when vscode inserts new line character when I don't want it. Here I show 2 examples of when it does that.

1.

I write:

```
if(a = 1) b = true;
```

When I format document vscode inserts new line before "b" like so:

```
if(a = 1)
    b = true;
```

2.

When I have a function with a lot of parameters which makes it very long (more than 120 characters, maybe?) it inserts new line in between parameters. Say I write:

```java
a = abc(this_, function, takes, very1, very2, very3, very5, many, parameters);
```

and vscode formats it like so:

```java
a = abc(this_, function, has, very1, very2, very3, 
    very5, many, parameters);
```

How can I stop vscode from insert all of these new lines?
