Description

Would it be possible to add a checkbox to make Vim auto-indent ( == ) to force One True Brace Style, instead of putting opening braces on a new line (in C)? I have been doing my due diligence the last few days to find a solution by modifying and pointing to a vimrc file to no avail.

One True Brace

if { 

     }

vs
{ on a new line

if
     {

     }

Research direction

The issue does not identify a file, test, or entry point; begin by locating the TypeScript implementation of auto-indent and its existing C-language behavior. Confirm whether a configurable One True Brace Style option is feasible, then define the setting, affected indentation behavior, and tests needed to demonstrate completion.
