format.nvim VS dotfiles

To format on save you need to install format https://github.com/lukas-reineke/format.nvim

For formatting, written in lua, there is formatter.nvim and format.nvim. These are also great plugin but are low level, where you still need you to provide some bindings for the linter/formatter of your choice.

format.nvim is really nice. It's flexible to configure and async

Didn't think I'll see another user with a similar config than mine. I also use ALE + nvim-lsp + ddc. So you can have a look at my config and feel free to DM me with your concerns.

My nightly config with ddc in lua

Also here is my galaxyline code if you want to take a look at it: https://github.com/creativenull/dotfiles/blob/8d1840a30265963aef71458363ccd621969b86b2/.config/nvim-nightly/lua/cnull/statusline.lua

But since you are in lua you will have to evaluate the lua inside vim which is then passed on as a string (kinda complicated to explain, code is a bit clearer), I did something similar with my status line, although a bit more minimal which you can take a look at it here.

I'm not sure what issues you're having with it, it should run all the linters and fixers automatically without any configuration needed to add in your config, besides adding the plugin. :ALEInfo is a great place to look at to see whats enabled and working. I like a bit control so i disable the automatic running and turn on only the linter/formatter I need on a filetype basis (aka add then to after/ftplugin), you can take a look at my dotfiles and see how I have them setup.

I've had the same issue, I just had to change the find_command key in the find_files function on telescope and create a different keymap to call it, you can take a look at my telescope setup

So what you really want, is to merge those two tables together, you can have a look at how I do it in my nvim lsp config but for your code it could be:
