Multi-Selection Alignment

[wbond]

Thanks guys! I'll work on trying to get mid-line tab alignment done tonight.

I've updated to the latest and it doesn't seem to work at all for me (JavaScript):

Code: Select all

        var tabBar            = me.getTabBar(),
            initialConfig      = card.getInitialConfig(),
            tabConfig     = initialConfig.tab || {},
            tabTitle           = initialConfig.title,
            tabIconCls = initialConfig.iconCls,
            index             = card.getIndex(),
            tabs               = tabBar.getItems(),
            cards     = me.getInnerItems(),
            currentTabInstance = (tabs.length >= cards.length) && tabs.getAt(index),
            tabInstance;

I just copied and pasted that code into my editor and it all seemed to align properly. Are there any errors in the console? Is anything happening at all? What platform are you running ST2 on, and what build of ST2 are you using?

For some reason it is now working. It may have been an issue with another plugin I had. There were no errors in the console.

Thanks for adding the align_indent setting!

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

I just released version 1.1.0 which includes the setting mid_line_tabs. When enabled, mid-line indentation will be done via tabs if indentation is set to tabs. This could have some side effects when working with editors that have a different tab width, and changes the way in which multi-character operators are indented.

The original post has been updated with the full changelog.

Thank You Will! Greate job, works good for me too.

New version (1.1.1) of Allignment. Will fixed a bug 'Fixed a math error when converting mid-line spaces to tabs'

Very nice work.

Could you make it works in realtime like elastic tabstop ?
You can see a live demonstration here : http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/

Love the plugin. There's one little issue I ran across today though: after updating to build 2111 I read the changelog and noticed the new Expand to tag shortcut, which is bound to ctrl+shift+a by default. I tried it out and obviously nothing happened, since it's overridden by the Alignment plugin. This is of course simple enough to fix, but I would still suggest making ctrl+alt+a the only default keybinding for selection alignment to prevent confusion in new users.

What an excellent plugin!

One question: I'm trying to use this to make latex tables neat and readable in the source code (by changing the alignment symbol to &), but it seems that only the first instance of the & symbol is actually aligned. To demonstrate, say I have this:

Code: Select all

1 & 2 & 3
4       & 5   & 6
7  & 8      & 9


What I get is this:

Code: Select all

1   & 2 & 3
4   & 5   & 6
7   & 8      & 9


but what I want is something like this:

Code: Select all

1   & 2   & 3
4   & 5   & 6
7   & 8   & 9


This is how my user settings look:

Code: Select all

   "font_size": 10,
   "mid_line_tabs": true,
   "alignment_chars": ["&"],
   "alignment_space_chars": ["&"],
   "alignment_prefix_chars": [   ]


Is there any way to make the plugin do what I want, or is it just out of the scope of the project?
