It would be nice to get other symbols rather than just =, I smell a good JSON cleanup :) I suppose you change these two lines? relevant_line_pattern = /^[^=]+=/ column_search_pattern = / *=/
into something .. :/ How'd you change hat to include at least : (semicolon) into the pattern matching?

Hey Drew,

I'd like to see this as an editing mode, automatically managing real tabs/spaces for me.
I use tabs for aligning assignment blocks, and so often find myself going back up to add extra tabs when the left side of the assignments becomes longer than I expected. Example (using 4 spaces for a tab here):
$a = 'A'; $bb = 'B'; $ccc = 'C';
If I were to enter a forth line with a really long variable name, I'd *love* for the behaviour to be result in:
$a = 'A'; $bb = 'B'; $ccc = 'C'; $really_long_name = 'foo';
.. but for that to be done with real tabs. I think the suggested convention of using a blank line to clear the alignment is a good one.
Not sure if that's useful input or not, but there you have it :)
I've built a TM filter command that will realign assignment blocks. It'll run on the current selection or on a block of statements touching the current line. You can find it at http://random-dreams.org/freeware/textmate/assignment-block- tidier.txt. It's been on my shortlist since then to write a version that can realign entire statements, lining up commas and closing parenthesis and such. I'll probably get to that this month.
Regards, Chris.
