If a user has multiple formatters we will always bother him to choose the one to use.
However nowhere do we say or help the user to know that having multiple formatters is discoureged and that he should disable some.
Since that is exactly what we want, and nowhere do we mention this.
The gear icon in the quick open is far fetched imho

I suggest the following but am open to more ideas:

  1. The very first time per workspace the format or format with actions is triggered and there are multiple show an INFO notification
    "There are multiple formatters for this file type. Please disable one of the formatters either via settings or extensions vielwet" - and have two actions (open extensions viewlet, open user settings)
  2. Stop doing this in the status bar. It is too short, and very easy to miss. And can easily get clogged with other content in the status bar

fyi @misolori
