Hi,

Im afraid there is no other tool than Pretty printer available, so unless you want to write you own tool for formatting the source code, you'll have to stick to the Pretty printer

Personally I find the Pretty printer Indentation and Keyword uppercase quite sufficient, and I don't see much point in having some special formatting - the next developer might use the Pretty printer on your code and your formatting is gone anyway...

Pretty Printer Just formats the code in an order.

It won't help to correct the code in any way
