Using Format Code on a js file:
var abcde = 'abcde',
def = {
a : 'aaa',
bb: 'b'
};
turns into:
var abcde = 'abcde',
def = {
a: 'aaa',
bb: 'b'
};
It would be really nice to have a setting to align the beginning of var names, align the equals, and align the colons in object literals like WebStorm. I tried looking for an extension, but wasn't able to identify one.
