jmcantrell created an issue (vim/vim#17055)

Steps to reproduce

Try to format a comment or documentation block using gq. Nothing is formatted. If I reset formatprg to the default, it formats fine.

Expected behaviour

Formatting a comment with gq should wrap long lines.

Version of Vim

9.1.1275

Environment

arch, foot terminal, TERM=foot, zsh

Does that mean rustfmt does not work with comment blocks?

I think you should use gw instead? It is not affected by 'keywordprg'

Likely rustfm misses context. That's what the RustFmt (modeled after :GoFmt) commands should supply, but neither does this work out in all cases.

I was not aware of gw and it does what I would expect.
