VSCode Smart Indent/Align Extension

About

An extension for those who know the difference between indentation and alignment

Smart Indent/Align is a VSCode extension that adds smart indentation and alignment.

• Indentation vs. Alignment — What's the difference?

Even though indentation should be done with tabs, and alignment should be done with spaces — this extension also supports using spaces as indentation editor.insertSpaces: true. (though only to some degree)

This is an unofficial spiritual successor to j-zeppenfeld's Tab-Indent Space-Align extension, which unfortunately seems to have been abandoned.

Features

This extensions... well extends the capabilities of VSCode's built-in indentation and alignment support.

• When pressing enter, any leading whitespace (indentation + alignment) will be 1:1 copied to the new line
• When configured to indent with tab characters (editor.insertSpaces: false), pressing tab within the indentation will insert a tab character, otherwise it will insert spaces
