Hello all,
Does Geany have any kind of automatic code formatter, either in the core or as a plugin? Looking through the plugins project/website, I didn't see anything like it, and if not I think I'd enjoy working on it in my free time, I just wanted to double check before investing a bunch of time.
Thanks, Jacob Strohm

No there is no such built-in although many people use custom command to do that http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#sending-text-through-custom-c....

This may solve your issue partially:
Currently you can only deal with indentation using it.

Hi,
I'd personally be very interested in using a plugin that can format the code precisely automatically. IIRC VisualStudio does this very well but is not flexible as to code style (or I didn't find the preferences). I suspect it would be quite difficult to write a good one that is at the same time accurate, flexible and supports multiple non-similar languages (C-style vs Python, for example).
Best of luck, Matthew Brush

I've been unable to get Geany to recognize your plugin using a geany version pulled from git a couple days ago (probably some silly mistake I'm making), but regardless I was thinking of something more fully featured (and not needing to install a separate library is preferable in my eyes). I may add an option to import/export the file format though.

Way to put the pressure on :). I haven't used Visual Studio's, but I will check it out, along with Eclipse's version. Also, since I only really have experience with C-style languages, it will (initally at least) be focused on that. Suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks, Jacob Strohm

I'm a bit late, but I just finally managed to commit my one-year-old attempt at writing such a plugin, so I link it here if you're interested: https://github.com/b4n/grind
I plan to finish it one day or the other, but it's not really a high-priority thing for me (one can tell since I didn't event committed much of it for months) because I don't have much need (or even use case) for such a plugin. I actually started it to answer somebody else's wish, and I found interesting and funny to try doing it, but it was quite big and requires time... argh, time.
Anyway, if you want to improve it, send me patch (I would review them) or take something from it (it's under GPLv2), feel free.
Hope it helps.
