code style switcher

It can't be hard to write a linter that will go through code and make

if(){
}


into

if()
{
}


or (this is messy, I don't want to fight with blogspot's syntax today, I'm sure you get it)

if()
{
}


and all combinatorial groupings therein

well, maybe it can be hard, but I'm going to do it. I'm sick of reading people's code that doesn't agree to preconformed styles, and it shouldn't be a human's job to fix it.

Also, control over what styles for while, switch, if, methods, classes, would be useful.

Probably exists.


OOOH and convert spaces to tabs or vice versa, with control of how many spaces a tabstop is!

generally it just prettifies your code! I'm sure this exists. But it would be so fun to make! #isgoingtodoitanyway
