Pyright from what I can tell doesn't support formatting. Coc seems to be using autopep8 which is a formatter and not a language server. That being said, for the langauge servers which do support formatting, I use this inside of the on_attach callback from nvim-lspconfig: vim.api.nvim_command[[autocmd BufWritePre <buffer> lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync()]]
