<p dir="auto">Since 99% of languages have the same assignment operators, it seems awfully redundant, and a heuristic might be smarter than a preference system.</p>
<p dir="auto">For example currently, the command will first check if there are equal characters, failing that, it will use colon.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am thinking this could be made even smarter, so it would not just check if the characters exist, but it will check if they are already aligned, and if so, jump to the next character in the list, that way, you could use Align Assignments in successesion, e.g. first to align assignments, then press again to align the trailing line comments.</p>
