Make the VS Code move the curly brace to the next line automatically

Is it possible to make the VS Code move the curly brace to the next line automatically?

E.g. in this code:

namespace MyNamesp
{
    public class Configuration {

    }
}

I would like the code to be formatted like this:

namespace MyNamesp
{
    public class Configuration 
    {

    }
}

ASAP as I typed this:

namespace MyNamesp
{
    public class Configuration {}
}

And pressed (or not pressed, I do not care about this exactly) the Enter while being between the {}.

Right now in order to achieve this kind of formatting I have to select the whole document (Ctrl + A) and click Alt + Shift + 'F'.

I think it would help if you turned on the Text Editor settings for Format on Type and Format on Paste. You could also turn on Format on Save if desired.

I would recommend you type in namespace MyNamesp then press Enter, then press { then press Enter to get what you want. You should not be typing space after e.g. Configuration if you want the open brace on a newline, you should be typing Enter.
