I remember I had an automatic code formating right after I pressed ctrl+s.
Now I don't have that.

All I have is "Code Formatter" that makes a lot of commets which I don't need and when I remove those comments with "Clear Comments" it will remove my personal commets also.

Will be super glad for help here.
