Align Regex

This extension is originally based on vscode-align-by-regex

It allows you to align multiple lines of text using regular expressions. You can easily align trailing comments, key-value pairs, or any custom text pattern you define.

Features

• Regex-Based Alignment: Align multiple lines of text simultaneously using powerful regular expressions.
• Versatile Formatting: Effortlessly handle trailing comments, assignment operators, key-value pairs, and complex code structures.
• Fully Customizable: Define and save custom regex patterns as reusable templates to match your expectation.
• Seamless Editor Integration: Run alignment commands instantly from the editor's context menu.
• Multi-Cursor Support: Align multiple independent line selections and cursors at the same time.

Extension Settings

• align.regex.templates: Templates for regular expressions used for alignment. The default built-in templates are:

{
    "align.regex.templates": {
        "Multiple signs": "=|,|:",
        "Trailing comments #": "(?<=\\S.*)\\s+#",
        "Trailing comments //": "(?<=\\S.*)\\s+//",
        "Trailing comments %": "(?<=\\S.*)\\s+%",
    }
}

Usage

• Select multiple lines or multiple cursors
• Right-click on the editor, and choose Align Regex
