How I Lost Auto Formatting In WebStorm!
…And How I Got It Back Again
I switched from VSCode to WebStorm and I couldn’t, for the life of me, get prettier to auto-format. After months of using a keyboard shortcut, one of my colleagues was able to find the issue and we got it fixed.
TL;DR
Are you using WebStorm with the VSCode Keymap and auto format on save doesn’t work?
Auto format only works with “Save All” actions and the VSCode Keymap remaps that to ctrl + k, s. Remapping cmd + s to the Save All action in WebStorm will allow your documents to auto format on save again.
