Multi-Selection Alignment

[floriancargoet]

I love that plugin!
I really like having my "="s aligned.
As senzo said, ":" alignment would be great for JavaScript and JSON.

A quick modification for ":" alignment

Replace

Code: Select all

equal_pt = view.find('=', pt).a


with

Code: Select all

import re
if re.search("=", view.substr(view.line(pt))):
  equal_pt = view.find('=', pt).a
elif re.search(":", view.substr(view.line(pt))):
  equal_pt = view.find(':', pt).a

I made it work with this syntax below:

Code: Select all

        var test      = "sadsad",
            asd       = "Asdasd",
            asdasdasd = "asdasd";

Buy commenting out this part of the code:

Code: Select all

            # for pt in points:
            #   pt += adjustment
            #   length = max_col - view.rowcol(pt)[1]
            #   max_length = max([max_length, length])
            #   adjustment += length
            #   view.insert(edit, pt, (' ' if use_spaces else '\t') * length)

You don't use this plugin the way it was designed, take a look at the documentation from wbond: https://github.com/wbond/sublime_alignment
The code you commented remove the left alignment and only keep the alignment of "=", what you probably want.
This plugin must probably be splitted in 2 commands, one for the left alignment and one for the "=" (or ":") alignment.

I should hopefully be able to add some options for alignment characters and disabling left alignment in the next day or so.

Hopefully I will also figure out how to create a .sublime-package file for those who are so inclined.

I've got this error under Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 kernel 2.6.38-10-generic

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

Over the past few days I added settings to the plugin for more customization. I also fixed some bugs.

The best way to get the newest version, and to automatically stay up to date with the latest version is to use the Package Control package manager I've been working on. Once you manually update Alignment through Package Control, it will automatically check for and install updates whenever Sublime Text 2 starts. You can learn more at http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control.

@rdougan

The newest version allows disabling indentation alignment on a per-filetype basis.

@xavi

The newest version fixed that bug.

@wbond: thanks for this awesome plugin, my code never looked that good!
There is a way of changing space indent to tab?

Thanks!

[wbond]

@iamntz

The left indent should automatically use tabs or spaces based on the current settings. In terms of mid-line indenting, unfortunately I was not able to figure out last night how to measure the actual displayed width of a tab character via the API. I can get the row and column, but the column is just the number of characters from the beginning of the line. I know ST2 can get the real column number since it is displayed in the status bar, I just couldn't find a method to translate to that. Without being able to tell how wide each tab is being displayed, I wouldn't be able to do mid-line tab spacing.

[bizoo]

To get the 'visual' column of a point, you could replace

Code: Select all

view.rowcol(pt)

by

Code: Select all

import indentation
indentation.line_and_normed_pt(view, pt)

Row is always the same for both.

An addition to the API for it would be nice.

Thanks for your work wbond.
