Hi,

I need to disable the formatting feature totally. I removed its fragment from the MWE2 and I don't have any other implementations for it but I am still finding it kinda working (default support) and I still find it in the right click menu -> source -> Formatting.

I need to disable it totally and remove this item from the menu.

Hi,

what about letting

org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.XtextSourceViewerConfiguration.getContentFormatter(ISourceViewer)

return null

by subclassing ContentFormatterFactory

ok that helped alot. Now it is shown as a disabled item in the right mouse button -> source -> formatting. How can I access this menu from the plugin.xml. I couldn't find this menu however the rest of the items are there in plugin.xml
