[Feature Request]: [Option].[to].[turn].[OFF].[escaping].[of].[EVERYTHING] #20735
Description
Feature Description
This is a usability issue for me. Being dyslexic, the square brackets around every single bit of generated code, whether it be from the rote scripts like "select top 1000", "script as create"... or Github Copilot suggested code completions. The formatting and especially escaping/quoting is a huge issue for me. Please give me the option to turn this off. I also cannot stand the comma before the next field in the select list style.
The behavior is a hold over from SSMS or something and it is forcing me to use microsoft's style which I cannot read. So, I have to spend time running regexes to clean up the code. Kind of defeats the purpose of using scaffolding and AI code completions.
I don't care if microsoft thinks it is best-practice or whatever. It just doesn't work for everyone's eyes.
Please, for the love of god, make it stop!!
Example of hard to read code:
SELECT [LET].[MeSetMyOwnStyle]
,[LET].[PLEASE]
FROM [This].[is].[MyCode] as [LET]
WHERE [LET].[MicrosftKnowsBetterThanMe] = 0
Problem and Motivation
I have a hard time reading the scaffolded and AI suggested code completions because I am dyslexic. I can change format/style settings my C# code, TypeScript code, JSON, XML.... but not SQL? Come on. Make it easier on us.
