@awelc Do you think it makes sense to implement textDocument/formatting PSL by wrapping the move-fmt command?

Another solution: https://github.com/pontem-network/intellij-move/tree/master/src/main/kotlin/org/move/ide/formatter

[uvd]

fork rustfmt ？

[awelc]

My apologies, this completely slipped off my radar. We had internal discussions about auto-formatting and none of the existing solutions is mature enough to be made an "official" one. The work on "official" auto-formatter is on-going as an external contribution (starting with necessary changes to the "official" Move parser) and we may be able to push some of this work within the core team as the number of contributors increases.

@awelc I have some refactoring on move parser which includes the comments for a fidelity ast in https://github.com/move-language/move/pull/294. Currently this needs review from the core developer of move team.
