Setting C# formatting options for OmniSharp on Visual Studio Code?

Question

I'm attempting to take advantage of the integration with Visual Studio Code, but can't figure out how to set the C# formatting options. The config.json right next to the OmniSharp exe on my Mac (/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/jrieken.vscode-omnisharp/bin/packages/OmniSharp/config.json) doesn't match the standard OmniSharp config.json format, so setting the brace + newline behavior properties isn't working, e.g. methodBraceStyle. It does work to set the tabSize, etc., however.

Just got this to work using the latest omnisharp (dev branch) and the omnisharp.json (pasted below) in the same folder as my project's .sln. It should work with all releases since v1.9-beta18, I just compiled from source because I don't use a supported system.

{
    "FormattingOptions": {
        "newLine": "\n",
        "useTabs": false,
        "tabSize": 4,
        "indentationSize": 4,

        "NewLinesForBracesInTypes": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInMethods": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInProperties": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInAccessors": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousMethods": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInControlBlocks": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousTypes": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInObjectCollectionArrayInitializers": false,
        "NewLinesForBracesInLambdaExpressionBody": false,

        "NewLineForElse": false,
        "NewLineForCatch": false,
        "NewLineForFinally": false,
        "NewLineForMembersInObjectInit": false,
        "NewLineForMembersInAnonymousTypes": false,
        "NewLineForClausesInQuery": false,
    }
}

The available properties are listed in FormattingOptions.cs in the omnisharp-roslyn repository.
