Bug ID: 457709
Summary: Formatters for All Major Languages
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rbharathkuma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate
2. Select documents of various languages - SQL
3. Same process for JSON, HTML, Python, Scala
4. Try to format.
OBSERVED RESULT
No Formatting options available.
Currently only available for JSON, Rust have formatting options available.
EXPECTED RESULT
Provide a formatter option for commonly used languages that would not only
adjust the indentation, but actually format the code. e.g. Poor Man's Formatter
for SQL or Prettier format. This would enhance the effectiveness of the Editor
many fold.
I have seen some options that this can be enabled via External Tools, but would
be nice if they were available to everyone as a button to toggle instead of
setting up several unknown packages.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora (Dual Boot)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On a side note, the external tools option in Windows is extremely buggy. The
options do not show up consistently. Sometimes they are available, sometimes
they become invisible. Also cause editor to crash occasionally.
