align code statement (type,variable,equal sign,etc) for a group of lines in Visual Studio

Question

Does Visual Studio has tab-customization like in the Microsoft Words?
It is also useful for some dirty refactoring (e.g. block-editing).

With this feature, I don't have to space space space / tab tab tab manually anymore to make it pretty like :-

In Microsoft Words, I can assign selected lines to have customized positions of tab :-

It works like this (-> are the tab characters):-

Edit

Code alignment extension recommend by a solution from VTT doesn't work for this code :-

std::vector<int> cat =std::vector<int>() ;
float zombie=5;

I expect it to be formatted like :-

std::vector<int> cat    = std::vector<int>() ;
float            zombie = 5;

But this is the result (at best):-

std::vector<int>     cat =std::vector<int>() ;
float zombie             =5;

Edit2

Here is an example more similar to the real case:-

MyArray<ManagerAAC   >   packAAC =create  (userData);
MyArray<ManagerANC  >   packANC =createANC  ( userData);
MyArray<ManagerAIC  >   packAIC =createAIC  (userData );
MyArray< ManagerNDX<1>>   packNDX1=generate<1>(userData);
MyArray<ManagerNDX<2>>    packNDX2=generate<2>(userData);
MyArray<ManagerNDX<3>>    packNDX3=generate<3>  (userData);
MyArray<ManagerSSK >      packSSK =createSSK     (userData);

I would be nice if it is formatted to be :-

MyArray<ManagerAAC   >    packAAC =create     (userData);
MyArray<ManagerANC   >    packANC =createANC  (userData);
MyArray<ManagerAIC   >    packAIC =createAIC  (userData);
MyArray<ManagerNDX<1>>    packNDX1=generate<1>(userData);
MyArray<ManagerNDX<2>>    packNDX2=generate<2>(userData);
MyArray<ManagerNDX<3>>    packNDX3=generate<3>(userData);
MyArray<ManagerSSK   >    packSSK =createSSK  (userData);

It also enables block-editing e.g. :-

I want to use it in just a few files (<1% of amount of .h/.cpp).

Answer 1

You can install Code alignment extension. It does not work like Word, but it does format your code without much typing.

Answer 2

Format it like this:

std::vector<int> cat = std::vector<int>();
float zombie = 5;

and do not waste time on something that doesn't matter.

Answer 3

Visual studio does have built in automatic formatting ( Edit -> Advanced ) which can be customised in the options menu ( Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> [language] -> Formatting)

There you can customise how the formatting behaves, although it may not be precise enough to achieve exactly what you want it should be able to get pretty close.
