# Running Rustfmt from Atom

## rust-analyzer

Rustfmt can be utilized from [rust-analyzer](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/) which is provided by [ide-rust](https://atom.io/packages/ide-rust).

`apm install ide-rust`

Once installed a file is formatted with `ctrl-shift-c` or `cmd-shift-c`, also available in context menu.

## atom-beautify

Another way is to install [Beautify](https://atom.io/packages/atom-beautify), you
