- [ ] New Line Before On Keyword
### Problem and Motivation
Improve formatter by adding additional options.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests; start by locating the Preview Formatter implementation and its query-editor option handling. Trace how JOIN and ON keywords are currently formatted, then define completion as supporting the requested newline options and producing the expected query-editor output.
