request for integration with vscode's built-in formatting functionality

I know it's not a quick change, but supporting the built-in formatting functionality would be a nice addition.

Links for reference, to clarify what I'm requesting:

Interesting... Can you elaborate a bit on what you would like regarding formatting? As in would you want there to be a "style guide" of sorts, or would you want stuff like warnings on redundant commands? Some use cases might be helpful in fleshing this out.

If I remember correctly, the Format SPL command you already have works fine for the actual formatting of the SPL. This request was just to bake it into vscode's built-in formatting functionality, which lets you format the document by using global keyboard shortcuts or by right-clicking in the Editor and choosing Format Document, instead of needing to trigger an Extension-specific Command. This Python extension is a good example: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/editing#_formatting I'm sure there are other benefits/features, but this was the one that made me think to submit this request.

Got it, I'll take a look.

I took a look at this and it looks like it requires more than just a simple function hook, it requires actually porting all the code to the VSCode Formatter API, so this will be on hold for a while
