I seems that when a unit has either of these 2 keywords, the entire unit cannot be formatted by JEDI Code Formatter.

Is that anyway to fix it or get around it (just to format the rest of the unit)?

What Lazarus version?

Please also add record Helper (and most likely class helper) to the list of things not working. (Checked moments ago on lazarus trunk)

Patches are welcome to the current JCF parser or to implement a new formatter based on CodeTools.

Actually basic generics syntax already works.
This JCF parser however must be updated separately when new compiler features come out, and it has no maintainer.
Maybe some of you guys can become a maintainer?

I haven't checked myself, but has the JEDI Code Formatter been rewritten to use the fcl-parser, or does it still use its own parser? If it uses it's own parser, that could be the problem.

I remember discussions from years ago that fcl-parser should really be used in JEDI Code Formatter, thus it automatically keeps up with the latest syntax changes made by FPC. The fcl-parser is well maintained, but other parsers might not be.

Seems Juha just answered that for me. :)
