Align inline comments to a certain column

[Snywrtne]

Hi,
i often use inline comments at the end of the code line (i.e. at column 80, or a column mark made with the Plugin "Column Mark").
I'm looking for a way to align the comments in an easy manner to such a fixed column as is showed in that link:

Can anybody give me a tip to achieve that.
Thanks in advance, Josef

to change any content, you must use plugin CudaFormatter with proper formatter-subplugin.

8 CudaFormatter
8.1 CudaFormatter commands
8.2 How to run formatter ESLint on saving
8.3 How formatter can know filename
https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText_plugins

so you need the 'formatter' whcih aligns comments to column e.g. 80.
not hard to make it.
this formatter can be written fast, e.g. for C / C++:

- take a line
- parse it to find inline comment (skip // chars inside strings, and skip multi-line comments)
- align comment

examples of formatters:

to parse a line to find comments, trick may be used.

- find '//' in line (it can be inside string too)
- check that '//' forms the real inline comment using Cud's API https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText_AP ... .get_token

'formatters' don't use this API, so it may be a simple plugin instead of 'formatter'. plugin which changes the current document.

Thank you for the suggestions.
I'll try, although I'm not the great programmer.

i can write the plugin for you. if you write a good review about Cud on some site.

Review is a problem for me, i can make a donation. Let me say 50 EUR.

[main Alexey]

donation is not needed, thanks.

[main Alexey]

what you can do: write the 'request for plugin' here
https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues
with the reward for ready plugin, 30$ is enough.
