Technically, this is called auto indenter. It only changes indentation. Auto formatter would be something like https://docs.racket-lang.org/fmt/.
I'm curious why you feel moving comments is bad. In your code, the comments are indented incorrectly relative to the surrounding code. If you want the content of these comments to be indented further, you would need to put space after ;
.
#lang racket/base
; ctrl+i now won't do anything
; test
(define (test)
;; this is the right level relative to the surrounding code
1)
Also, I don't think your observation about ;
vs ;;
is correct. The indenter moves both ;
and ;;
, provided that they are on their own. But if you have ;
or ;;
after some text, the indenter will indent the text.
;; this will be moved
hello ;; this will not be moved because hello is already indented correctly
world ;; this will be moved because world is not indented correctly
And FWIW, most indenters and formatters for most languages do move comments. They don't modify the comment content, however, which is also the case for DrRacket.

The auto formatter currently moves single
;
comments but for;;
it won't. Nonetheless it's kind of jarring to have comments be formatted
