Formatter integration with emacs

[clearloop]

Component

Forge

Describe the feature you would like

Ethereum has provided an emacs mode https://github.com/ethereum/emacs-solidity which uses solium as the default formatter and it has conflicts with the foundry code structure

the problem leads emacs users to a hard situation ...

• abandon flycheck/company mode for solidity code
• develop a plugin themselves
• use hardhat with well-built code editing environment
• forget about writing solidity code
• switch to vscode (don't ask)

foundry seems now only has chapter about the integration with https://book.getfoundry.sh/config/vscode only,

• PR solidity-mode or fork it to foundry-mode.el
• add documentation about how to use it in emacs
• (advanced) add the mode to the popular emacs frameworks, for example https://docs.doomemacs.org/v21.12/modules/lang/solidity/

This should be a 3rd party tool, we do not maintain the VS Code plugin either. Feel free to open a PR to the book with a guide on how to set it up 😊

[clearloop]

in case anybody else need a workaround, for src/.solumrc.json:

{
  - extends: "solium:recommend",
  "rules": {                                                                                                                                                                                                
    "max-len": ["error", 120],
    "__others": "..."
   }
}

and since solium is a dead project now, see no reasons making it an option in forge fmt or developing a foundry plugin for it atm ))
