Key

The key after Ctrl Equals to press for the alignment

Alignment

What to align by. You can make it as simple as a single character or make it into a powerful regex.

From caret

Whether to align from the column where your caret is. For more details see _____

Is Regex

Should be ticked if your alignment is a regex. For details on using regexes see Aligning using Regular expressions

Add space

Allows you to say “If there’s not a space before this alignment, add one”.

e.g. If the furthest right was x= 7 and you aligned by equals, the add space makes sure that becomes x = 7.

Restore defaults

Restores only this screen of options (and will not save the restore until you click OK)
