Vertical Alignment

When enabled, this option performs vertical alignment.

  • Vertical Alignment Tokens (ro.amiq.vhdldt/format.vertical_align.tokens)

The lines of code inside the same scope are aligned by the specified comma separated list of vertical alignment tokens. Vertical alignment is performed left to right, by the same token. In order to use the comma character ‘,’ as a vertical alignment token, the character must be preceded by the escaping character ‘\’.

  • Only consecutive lines (ro.amiq.vhdldt/format.vertical_align.consecutive_lines) - When enabled, only consecutive lines are vertically aligned. Two lines are consecutive if they follow each other or are separated by comment lines.
