  1. open vs code
  2. copy and paste to new file (ctrl+n)
  3. make sure that selected language is rust in right bottom.
  4. run format (alt+shift+t)

Expected result

  • format with rustfmt by rust-analzyer extension

Actual result

vscode doesn't think rust-analzyer is rust formatter.

The previous, deprecated Rust extension supported this formatting. So I hope rust analzyer do this too.
