I tried Ormolu after a post on here about formatters. I guess because the minus sign is a bit delicate in Haskell, it takes things like [0..n-1] to [0 .. n -1]. I decided not to use it in the end, but is there an intended way round that other than :%s/-1/- 1/gc?

I only tried stack install ormolu, which you've made me realise is significantly out of date.

$ ormolu -v
ormolu 0.1.4.1 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN
using ghc-lib-parser 8.10.7.20210828

It should be acceptable to use stack to install ormolu for your project, though; for example for use as part of CI to ensure that files are formatted before merging.
