Change Add>New Item so it doesn't reformat code.
After formatting my DAML for readability, it looks like this:

I then right click on project and choose New Item, and then a Button.

When I open my DAML, I see the code I just formatted has been un-necessarily changed.

Not only is it harder to read within Visual Studio, but it also clutters the git commit history, and makes pasting code to forums less readable.
