I'm looking for a text alignment plugin that can do a very specific thing

#1

Sometimes I want to align code in a very specific way. For example (this is systemverilog, by the way):

1 THING THING_INSTANCE(
2     .port(a_signal),
3     .this_port_is_longer(sig),
4     .shorter_port(really_long_signal)
5 )

I manually move all the parentheses so that it looks like this:

1 THING THING_INSTANCE(
2     .port               (a_signal          ),
3     .this_port_is_longer(sig               ),
4     .shorter_port       (really_long_signal)
5 )

It’s noa big deal to do it manually, but I’d really love to be able to, for example, select the ( of lines 2 through 4 and hit a shortcut key to align all of the selections to match the furthest one out (line 3 in the example).

Any plugins that can do this?

Answering my own question: the Alignment plugin does this very thing. Note to self, always google first!
