By default, vscode knows how to auto-indent code with braces, e.g.
given:
if (foo) {
pressing "Enter" will add one level of indentation. Similarly, entering
a closing brace can unindent a line.
Ideally, we'd like to do something similar with the brace-less syntax.
This commit is a first attempt at doing so by using the built-in support
in vscode for defining indentation patterns. Proper automatic
unindentation seems much harder to achieve.

@odersky Have you had a chance to try this out ? I'd like to release the updated vscode extension soon to make sure we can test it properly before students start using it. |

I'll merge it and try it out now. |

At first glance it works as advertised, i.e. indent works, outdent not. But outdent can anyway be expected only in a few special circumstances, so it might even be better not to do it at all. |
