    Is there anyway I can have things show up in one column without manually changing everything?
    For example, here is a file I’m editing.

    Now how would I make them all show up like this automatically?

      There is a plugin called “Code Alignment” that can be installed from the Plugins => Plugin Admin menu that will do exactly this - not automatically, you’ll need to highlight the selection and tell it to align code by what character you want - in this case, the = .

      Cheers.

        On a one time basis, you could do this.

        Take some data (since, pet peeve, you didn’t provide anything textually) that I made up:

        aaaaaaaaaaa=bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=bbbbbbbbb
        aaaa=bbbbbbbb
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=bbbbbbb
        a=b
        

        Replace = with = plus a “good quantity” of spaces to get:

        aaaaaaaaaaa=                          bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=                          bbbbbbbbb
        aaaa=                          bbbbbbbb
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=                          bbbbbbb
        a=                          b
        

        Make a column selection (using Ctrl+Shift+arrows) like this:

        Press Ctrl+Delete to obtain:

        aaaaaaaaaaa=         bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=    bbbbbbbbb
        aaaa=                bbbbbbbb
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=    bbbbbbb
        a=                   b
