I still can't figure out how to format on save in Xcode. Or format in general?

> Or format in general?

I use the workaround of Command-A, command-X, command-V aka “Select All, Cut, Paste”.

Unfortunately that loses cursor position in the file and gives you a free newline at the end of your content.

You're supposed to end your document with a newline. That's a POSIX standard.

I know, but if your file already ends in one, it adds a second one, if it already ends in two, it adds a third one, etc.

I don't mean this as snark, I'm genuinely interested: do you have a phrase I can search for or a link to that? I don't think I've ever heard that before but I would love to start citing it

Format with this integration: https://github.com/ruiaureliano/X-SwiftFormat

Then make CMD+s the shortcut.

thats great (i use swift format plugin myself) but really apple should provide these features not 3rd parties and ideally format while typing not just save
