Multi-Selection Alignment

[wbond]

Sublime Alignment is a plugin that aligns multiple selections and multi-line selections. When aligning multi-line selections, all lines are first indented to the same level. Upon subsequent execution, all equal signs are aligned to the same column. When aligning multiple selections, all selection points are aligned to the same column.

Please see http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/alignment for full documentation, including installation instructions, settings, key bindings, etc.

Bugs should be reported at https://github.com/wbond/sublime_alignment/issues.

Thanks for this nice and useful plugin.

Actually it doesn't work cos the decorator @handles_not_found is not declared, I have to remove this line:

Code: Select all

class AlignmentCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
   @handles_not_found
   def run(self, edit):

to

Code: Select all

class AlignmentCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
   def run(self, edit):

Thanks for pointing that out. I had fixed it in my local copy, but I forgot to commit and push it to github.

Thanks! I plan on using this all the time.

Sweet!

If you could change this slightly to not have to place the cursor, but instead select the code, then keypress. Awesome!

Also, it doesn't quite work right in this case;

Code: Select all

var test = 1,
   anothertest = 2,
   testme = "another var";

"anothertest" gets left behind.

I was thinking of adding a mode for a single multi-line selection that would indent all of the lines to the same level. It sounds like this is what you are looking for, correct?

For your example of failure, where are your cursors placed?

Beginning of each identifier.

I've updated the plugin to be a bit more powerful. I believe the issue you were having with alignment is that the plugin was intended for aligning things like equal signs in the middle of lines, do it always inserted spaces. The way that sublime measures columns of characters, only a single space would have been inserted if you use tabs for indenting.

That said, I've updated the plugin to do what I think you were intending to do, which is to align the left edge of each line to the same indent level. If you have a multi-line selection, the plugin will cause all lines to be indented to the same level. As a bonus, if you run it a second time, the first set of equal signs with be aligned using spaces.

The original functionality for multiple selections still exists and functions that same way.

If any of what I described is confusing, please see the readme for examples.

New update:

The multi-line selection mode now properly handles equal signs that do not have a space before them. Equal signs are aligned to the left-most column possible while leaving at least one space to the left of each equal sign/operator.

It would be useful for javascript to check not only for '=' but for ':' too. The equal sign could have precedence.

Nice Plugin
