Do you have any YAML auto-formatter installed?

[sylr]

I do have the redhat.vscode-yaml extension installed.

I see the same behavior where the GitHub workflow doesn't copy/paste the same as a regular YAML file. I don't have another YAML extension installed.

I am on Windows 11 using the desktop version.

GitHub workflow (I noticed I can't find any way to paste it so that it is in the right place with just the paste, I have to do further editing to get it in the right place no matter where I place the cursor to paste):

Regular YAML file:

I've experienced the same issue for months as well. It's a shame because I really like what the extension has to offer. I just leave it disabled.

I think this may be solved by the following setting

  "[github-actions-workflow]": {
    "editor.autoIndent": "keep"
  }

I spent some time tinkering with this incorrectly for the "[yaml]" settings group, not realizing that "[github-actions-workflow]" is considered a separate language. Does this work for others?

@neil176 Thank you! That fixed this for me as well.

"[github-actions-workflow]": {
    "editor.autoIndent": "keep"
  }

where to add this

@Lekshmisr26 In the VScode setting file settings.json, see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_settingsjson.

Same awful experience here. The first line of a pasted block has the indentation always changed wrong, while the rest of the YAML block stays as is. I don't have any YAML-related extension active. I use YAML only in GitHub workflows.

I find an Undo (Cmd/Ctrl + Z) after pasting helps.
