[FIXED] How to invoke the "Organize imports" TypeScript feature in Visual Studio?

Issue

There is a new feature in TypeScript 2.8 that lets you "Organize imports": https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2018/03/27/announcing-typescript-2-8/#organize-imports

Basically it does the following:

• remove unnecessary import statements
• sort the import statements

The page shows that the feature can be invoked in Visual Studio Code with the Shift+Alt+O keyboard shortcut. Does anybody know how this feature can be invoked in Visual Studio (2017)?

UPDATE:

From version 15.8 onward Visual Studio 2017 highlights unused imports by greying them out.

Solution

This feature has now been added to Visual Studio 2017.

One can invoke it the following ways:

1. Pressing Ctrl+R followed by Ctrl+G.
2. Right-click in the code window and click Organize Imports in the context menu.
