Built-in formatter
Tidies your code for you - puts the spaces, indents and line breaks in the same places every time.
When you would want it
Arguing about where the spaces go is the least valuable thing a person can do with their day. A formatter ends the argument by always doing the same thing.
Where to find it
- All Features → Built-in formatter
- Settings → adcode.formatting.formatter
- Keyboard → Shift+Alt+F
How to use it, step by step
On by default, and there is nothing to install.
- Press Shift+Alt+F to tidy the open file.
- If a language server is running for that language, ADCode asks it first, because it knows the language better than we do; otherwise ADCode's own formatter does it.
Why this beats the usual way
Elsewhere, consistent formatting is a ritual: pick a formatter, install it, write a config, wire it to save. ADCode ends the ritual - a built-in formatter, on by default, that defers to your language server when one knows better and never mangles a file it cannot handle.
