Align Anything

Align assignments, comments, or anything else

Usage

1. Select some lines
2. Use a command starting with "Align Anything"

Then, the first match on each line is aligned to the right using spaces.

Features

Ways to select text

• Select multiple lines in one selection
• Create multiple selections with alt and the mouse
• Select nothing and the entire file is aligned

Patterns to find and align

• Assignment operators (= surrounded by spaces)
• Comments for 48 different languages (with // and /* by default)
• Custom patterns
  • Popup if no string is set
  • Set a keybinding with "args": "regular_expression_here"

Known Limitations

• It doesn't work if lines are indented differently with tabs.

• Tokens are not known. As a result, patterns found in strings will be aligned. Tokens that span across lines will not work well either. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/177452.
