Cannot format code on visual studio when using TypeScript

Question

So I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Version 15.6.4 and Visual C# 2005 keyboard shortcuts and whenever I'm trying to format the code pressing (Ctrl + E, D) on other languages than C#, I get an error saying

"The key combination is bound to command (Format document) which is not..."

such that the rest I cannot see. I wrote code on TS before but formatted my PC, and now after reinstallation, it just happened no reason.

Error capture:

Does it work when you do it manually through the menus?

Finally, I figured it out. The problem was that I haven't installed any Visual Studio features that support javascript & typescript. The solution is press "Tools" > "Get Tools and Features" > Then I marked "Universal Windows Platform development" and "Node.js development". Click "Modify" and wait for the installation to complete. Then restart VS and it should work.
