Align Assignments -- Sublime Text 2 Plugin

Sometimes I like to align my assignment statements in a given selection. Not everyone likes to do this, but it occassionally makes it easier for me to read. This features was in TextMate and I loved it. Migrating to Sublime Text 2 I missed it, so here it is for Sublime Text 2

Align assignment statements for a selection

This:

variable = 1
other_variable = 2
yet_another_variable = 3

Becomes This:

variable             = 1
other_variable       = 2
yet_another_variable = 3

And This:

$array = array(
               "key" => $value,
               "other_key" => $other_value,
               "yet_another_key" => $yet_another_value
              );

Becomes This:

$array = array(
               "key"             => $value,
               "other_key"       => $other_value,
               "yet_another_key" => $yet_another_value
              );

Install (OS X)

Drop align_assigments.py into:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/User/

If you would like to bind it to the same key combination as TextMate, add this:

{ "keys": ["super+alt+]"], "command": "align_assignments" }

to your:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/User/Default (OSX).sublime-keymap
