I was hoping for something that would align = signs across several lines of assignment statements. :( – Candis

hi Peter thank you for sharing information this is useful for edit format document file .. – Meniscus

I wonder why they put "CTRL + ALT + L (Win)" as the answer out there.... developer.android.com/sdk/installing/… – Keefer

@DavidJames: for aligning on a special character or string, see djeikyb's answer for the plugin Columns4Eclipse – Respectively

Cmd+I on Mac respectively – Gromme

In my case in MAC, it is: cmd + Shift + F – Viridi

On Mac : ⌘ + ⇧ + F – Qualitative

Answer 2

Auto-alignment? Lawful good?

If you mean formatting, then Ctrl+Shift+F.

Answer 3

The answer that the OP accepted is wildly different from the question I thought was asked. I thought the OP wanted a way to auto-align = signs or + signs, similar to the tabularize plugin for vim.

For this task, I found the Columns4Eclipse plugin to be just what I needed.

An under-rated answer! – Deity
