Smart Align

A IntelliJ plugin to provide better vertical alignment.
Align your code by assignment(=, +=, -=, *=, /=), colon(:) and comma(,). also support trailing comment.
You don't have to select what to be aligned, this plugin automatically figure it out.

Compatibility

IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio. (and maybe other JetBrains families.)

How to use

Place your cursor at where you want your code to be aligned, and invoke the Align command via Code -> Smart Align or Press Alt + Shift + -.
Then the code will be automatically aligned.

Tips

Because Reformat Code and Smart Align conflicts, I recommend enabling formatter markers in comments via Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Fromatter Control -> Enable formatter markers in comments

// @formatter:off
write code here to be aligned.
// @formatter:on
