I’m constantly struggling with getting prettier to format my cells,
it would be great if the feature could be made more reliable (hasn’t happened for a couple years now), or simply be made explicit via a shortcut.
Hitting reevaluate repeatedly in the hopes of something changing is a mind numbing waste of time.
We recently started collecting bug reports & feature requests in this Github repo: GitHub - observablehq/feedback - if you’d like to report the bug(s) you’re seeing with Prettier and/or suggestions for how you’d like this feature to behave, please feel free to open an issue there!
Meanwhile, as you’re probably aware, you can disable auto-formatting in your user settings (https://observablehq.com/settings) if Prettier is proving more of an annoyance than a help in your notebooks.
