Combining imports from the same file

[rene-leanix]

Have there been any plans to combine all (side-effect-free) imports from the same file into a single import statement?

We're using import-sort in combination with Prettier and would benefit a lot from this feature.

I would like this as well.

Currently I'm using VS Code's Organize Imports feature, but it has a huge downside as of Feb 2021 - it removes the unused imports as well 😵 microsoft/TypeScript#36085

Looks like import-sorter from @SoominHan does this, among other features (also with a lot of configuration options for this)! 💯
