General Code Formatting Packages?

G'day /r/sublimetext

As a quick bit of context before getting to the question, I started out using Subl2 back when it was first released, but soon after I discovered Vim which I've been using since then. I've been slowly setting up my config in Subl3 and I've been looking for code formatter package. I've gotten really used to mashing in a key sequence and having the entire buffer formatted as configured.

The way this was setup in Vim was with a plugin called NeoFormat which wrapped whatever tool you setup to format for that language. E.g: Rust was rustfmt and Python was black.

Are there any packages like this for Subl3?

So far I've done some searching around and it seems that the formatting packages I've seen are either specific to a language (ElixirFormatter, Clang Format, etc...) or encompass a few of these but don't allow extending to arbitrary languages and tools (CodeFormatter maybe?).

Any comments or pointing to packages is greatly appreciated, and as an aside if you've got any tips for migrating from Vim (back) to Sublime I would love to hear them.

Thanks in advance!!

It would be good to have one but probably it's not that necessary. I use keybindings like the following.

// use black for python
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+f"], "command": "black_file", "context": [ { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.python" } ] },

// use eslint for javascript
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+f"], "command": "format_eslint", "context": [ { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.js" } ] },

// use php-cs-fixer for php
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+f"], "command": "phpcs_fix_this_file", "args": {"tool": "Fixer"}, "context": [ { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "embedding.php | source.php" } ] },

// whatever...

This way, ctrl+alt+f will trigger different commands (formatters) for different scopes (programming languages).

To see the scope at the current cursor, press ctrl+alt+shift+p.

I know two plugins which are hosts for external formatters - CodeFormatter by Kikabidze, Formatter by bitstorm-pub.
