There was an add-on called Power Commands (Now productivity power tools) in visual studio to format the code on save.

I was so used to see my code format on save that I cannot change that habit. Is there a way to do that in Eclipse?

I can only assign one thing to Ctrl+S otherwise because if I assign Save & Format Code to the same keys, once I press the shortcut it will do neither but propose me what I want to do with the shortcut. Is there an add-on or a way to do it?

Go to 

Window > Preferences

then to

Java > Editor > Save actions

and tick Perform the selected actions on save, then tick Format source code

You can also let eclipse perform Additional actions which you can freely configure.

Sure. You can do that in your eclipse workspace. Set your own custom save actions.

Here is what you need to do. enter image description here Navigate to Window --> Preferences, Search for Save in it. and enable the Perform Selected actions on Save checkbox.
