In VS Code using the InterSystems ObjectScript extensions, I'd like the indentation applied to match that of IRIS Studio. Specifically for comments and dot syntax, I'd like pressing enter (carriage return) to preserve the current dot depth and same comment beginning.

And after pressing enter the leading comment is preserved:

For dot indented code:

The company I work for have a repository for one of our products which already contains both InterSystems and non-InterSystems source code.

Whilst looking through the documentation I found that in the Language Server extension, there is a setting to output verbose trace details. With verbose output switched on, trying the "go to definition" of some code, the output shows this:
