[generic-editor] how to support auto-formating text (STRG+SHIFT+F)

[laeubi]

I have a generic editor extension and I wanted to add formatting capability to it so users can use the usual STRG+SHIFT+F

I looked at the help topic but it does not mention how to hook into this.

I now looked at some other implementations (e.g. pde + lsp4e) and came up with a solution, but it requires a whole whack of stuff (even more than all my formatting code in this case).

Given that auto-format is something one maybe likes for almost all domain specific languages its a bit a pity its not supported somehow out of the box and one simply registers an "Auto Formatter" with an extension point like similar generic editor stuff.

All the code is in place and supposed to work. But there is no test covering the invocation of the format command (that would be a good addition), so there can be some bug in the handler. Have you tried putting some breakpoints in LSPFormatHandle ?
