title: Block must not be padded by blank lines. (padded-blocks)
body: <p>Is there a way to configure VS Code in order to avoid padding, via format line (<kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F</kbd>)?</p>
  
  <p>For instance the first line after the if statement is empty (padded):</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (a) {
  
      b()
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The empty line after the if statement should be removed as following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (a) {
      b()
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This should be done automatic by pressing <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F</kbd>.
  Can the settings be configured accordingly in VS Code?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
