Code alignment for Visual Studio Change Log

Version 8

Added ability to export and import settings

Version 7

Add space before only works if first instance at max column needs space. Fixed.

Version 6

v6.1: Updated Icons for Visual Studio 2012 RTM. (Issue 11)

v6:

• Renamed XML Types options screen to Automatic Selection
• The restore to default for Automatic Selection crashes (Issue 1)
• Allow the user to customise the characters that define a "Block" (Issue 2)
• Option to reset the MRU list in Align by string (Issue 8)
• If the user uses tabs, still give them the option to align with only spaces (Issue 9)

Version 5

v5:

• Make adding Shift to a shortcut align from position
• Make it so any second key press closes the Key grabbing screen
• A "require space before" option
• Ability to manually specify file types which should be treated as XML style
• Add support for Atmel Studio

Version 4

v4.1: Fixed bug which caused align by position not to work with shortcut.

v4: Shortcuts are now customisable. Used nicer font.

Version 3

v3.1: Now compatible with Visual Studio 11 Beta, new icons.

v3: Lots of changes - New align by string screen, Regex support, replaced "align by position" with "align from caret". Few more see http://goo.gl/Hs2Cu

Version 2

v2.9: There was a bug with the XML selection algorithm, which occured if you were on the last line of a multiline tag.

v2.8: Changed align by equals really aligning by "space =" in c#. Now on EVERY language it aligns just by = but only when the character before it is not a symbol. This protects cases like += from being split but allows cases of "myvar= 5" to be aligned.

v2.7: Accidently disabled align by equals aligning by "space =" in c# in v2.6 this version fixes that up. Also added '(' & ')' as lines which define a scope (useful for SQL).

v2.6: This could be a controversial change, so please let me know what you think. For a long time I have believed that automatic scope selection was kind of useless for XML style documents. Just because the layout is so different - You tend to use less blank lines, a child goes directly under a parent but is indented.
Because of this the logic has been changed for .xml, .xaml, .html & .html files. The selection logic can be described as
"If the marker is in a multiline tag, then the scope is that tag. If the marker is in a singleline tag, then the scope is the group until the indentation changes.

v2.5:

• Rule for aligning by space, changed to "align the last space in the first block of spaces after current position".
• The logic for positioning when you had tabs was wrong. Fixed.

v2.4: Name change. Wanted to make sure I didn't experience any problems so I didn't add any extra features.

v2.3: If you have "Keep tabs" ticked in options it will insert tabs and spaces instead of just spaces.

v2.2: Tabs are now handled correctly.

v2.1: You can now use the extension on any file, before it had to be a "code" file.

v2.0:

• On its own toolbar
• Added Align by position - asks for string, then pos defaulting to cursor location
• Align by string doesn't ask for position anymore
• Align by space doesn't ask for position anymore

Version 1

v1.10: The delimiter with align by string is now saved.

v1.9: 2 Bug fixes. For some reason I thought the line no started at 1 not 0, so the auto selection didn't work on the first line. Also fixed the bug which includes the line which tells the auto selection to stop.

v1.8: Change the no selection rule so it also stops when it reaches a line with just }; (common for initialisers).

v1.7: Added ability to change the keyboard shortcuts

v1.6: Changed the no selection rule so the area is between blank lines or lines with just { or }

v1.5: Shortcuts!

v1.4:

• If you haven't selected any lines, then it will align the current 'block'. A block is the area between 2 blank lines.
• The 'align by space now puts the default value of the min column to align to as the location of your cursor
