TS AutoImport style config enhancement

I love the new TS autoimport, saves so much time having to manually type out imports, also getting auto complete for things not even in your file is amazing.

That being said, a few configuration options would be nice:

• Our style guide means no semicolons, but the code automatically adds one (so I have to cursor up to delete it).
• Additionally our style guide also calls for absolute imports to come before relative ones, but code just places it at the end (so I have to go and move it manually).

Semicolon part tracked by #19882

Hi @mjbvz, will this also allow configuring autoimports to be absolute (relative to baseUri), instead of always relative (../../...)?

These have been marked as closed / fixed, but it's not clear where the path fix & option come into play:
#20619
microsoft/vscode#45948

Thanks

This is available in TS 2.9 (VSCode insiders as of now). use "typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier": "non-relative"

Closing this as both of the issues have been addressed by the following VS Code settings:

• javascript.format.semicolons / typescript.format.semicolons for semicolons (auto imports also try to infer this now.
• javascript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier / typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier for import style (relative vs absolute)
