I don't like most auto-completion of parentheses/quotes in VS Code, but I would like to have braces auto completed. That is, if I type:

function foo(thing) {

I would like to get the following (where | is the cursor):

function foo(thing) {
   |
}

And similarly for if etc.

Is there a way to achieve this in VS Code?

That has two problems compared to what I specified in the question. It also applies for parentheses (which I don't want), and it doesn't add the line breaks (which I do want).
