Black does not support "Format Selection" command - VS Code error

Question

I need to indent my python file in Vs Code. I followed the normal procedure,

On Windows Shift + Alt + F
On Mac Shift + Option + F
On Linux Ctrl + Shift + I

But my question is every time when I try to format python file it it says

Black does not support "Format Selection"

So someone can explain what's going wrong here? My python version is Python 3.7.6

Answer 1

In my situation (select black as the Python Formatting Provider in VS Code Settings), I encountered this warning everytime when I pasting some text into the editor.

And the official documentation of VS Code has a solution specifically for it:

When using the black formatter, VS Code issues the following warning when pasting source code into the editor: Black does not support the "Format Select" command.

To prevent this warning, add the following entry to your user or workspace settings to disable format on paste for Python files:

"[python]": {
    "editor.formatOnPaste": false
}
