I can’t seem to find a setting to turn of the linter that is breaking my code by assuming it can change ‘1e01’ into ‘1e1’ … this is breaking all ganja.js examples …

Not to mention that it removes context from my code - statements on the same line are on the same line because they belong together a bit more than statements on separate lines.

so please let me turn it of - swap the default - make it a keycombo - anything ! its a breaking change for an experimental hacker like myself.

Did you enable our experimental support for Prettier? That’s the only thing I can think of that would touch your code, and it’s off by default, and you can only turn it on through the developer console.

Let us know what you think, and if you run into any issues using this beta feature! you can turn it off again by running localStorage.removeItem('tryPrettier').
