How to set auto-format command?

Hi 👋

I'm new using helix, and I would like know if I can do something like this:

gopls works perfectly, but the gopls format command doesn't remove the unused packages like goimporst does.

auto-format is just a true/false key for using LSP formatting. External formatters would depend upon #122 and/or #1396. For now you can try following this to use an external formatter: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/FAQ#strip-whitespace-or-format-the-buffer

Now with #1972 merged, you can map :pipe goimports to some keyboard shortcut. It won't be format-on-save but still better than typing out the command every time.
