Hi,

the option to format the code in theide is not being displayed! Have there been any changes?

** even though it was being displayed in the keyboard shortcuts, if you set it up it didn't work!

Thanks!

Hello Beto,

You must miss the discussion on the thread about releasing 2022.3. We made the decision to remove dependency to Astyle our formatting library. This changed made formatting comamnd unusable. The main decision about it is that our implementation had critical bug that was difficiult to solve and the person responsible for introducing AStyle didn't maintain it anymore.

The good thing is that we have replacement for that. I integrated clang-format. The change is under review and will land after we release 2022.3. You can read more about this feature on this forum thread. I also encourage you to checkout my Git branch and test the current implementation.

clang-format is much more better than AStyle and it is actively develop. For example it offers formatting for the features from C++20 like concepts. Also, we are handling binary not library which don't endanger us on breaking api changes.
