Add feature to reformat code by reaction
I think it'd be a good feature to be able to reformat code easily by placing a certain reaction to it, just as how TL;DR works. Most of the time, users don't un-indent their code.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
public void Foo()
{
// Bar
if(foo)
{
}
}
|
public void Foo()
{
// Bar
if(foo) { }
}
|
iirc, roslyn gives the ability to apply formatting changes to code. I'm not sure how effective it will be in this limited context, though
We removed tl;dr, because it caused issues. It was a bit jarring to people to have their code reuploaded by the bot, and the straw that broke the camel's back was when people would react with tl;dr to Xero's #guild-feed posts.
I would rather not go through that again, so if we were to consider this, it would have to be done with considerable care not to reintroduce the same problems that tl;dr had.
you're delusional if you think discord's going to implement this. They barely support syntax highlighting!
As part of a new effort to refocus on priorities, I will close this. If you feel this is imperative to the bot, a new issue can be opened to supersede this.
