Setting lua.format.lineWidth seems to no longer work in VS code

[daw00kie]

It just uses the default of 120 no matter what you put in

I haven't been able to reproduce this, is this still an issue in later versions of VSCode? Its working as intended in my version:

Can someone please explain, how or where I set the lua.format.lineWidth = x

This extension is great, but documentation is a bit lacking :( Thanks

@geoffw123 That is a setting that the extension supplies to VSCode.

Nowadays there is a GUI for settings (ctrl+comma), but there is also a tiny button to open the underlying settings.json file, and that's where you would see/change the "lua.format.lineWidth" value if you change it from the default 120.

In the GUI it appears as "Lua > Format: Line Width".
