Unclear instructions for configuring .vscode\settings.json

[0gregory0]

I find the following instructions unclear:

Once installed in Visual Studio Code, "autopep8" will be available as a formatter for python files. Please select "autopep8" (extension id:ms-python.autopep8) as the default formatter. You can do this either by using the context menu (right click on a open python file in the editor) and select "Format Document With...", or you can add the following to your settings:

"[python]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.autopep8"
}

and change the following, if set:

  "python.formatting.provider": "none"

Specifically, I find the last part unclear as it raises an unanswered question: "Change it to what?" If the intention is to remove the line of code, then a better choice of words would be "and delete the following, if set" or "and remove the following, if set". Kindly clarify.

I also felt that this would be more of a discussion than an issue, but I think discussions aren't enabled yet for the Autopep8 repository.

The intent is if the setting "python.formatting.provider" was set to some value like autopep8 (or black or yapf) then it should be changed to none

I see.

The reason I raised the issue was that I was getting the following warning in VS Code and I didn't know how to go about it:

This setting will soon be deprecated. Please use the Autopep8 extension or the Black Formatter extension. Learn more here: https://aka.ms/AAlgvkb.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

You will need it until the setting is deprecated and removed.
