sublime alignment doesn't work

Question

When I use the sublime text 2, I install the sublime alignment, but the ctrl+alt+a doesn't work.See the screenshots below for more details.

Answer 1

I had the same issue with Alignment plugin.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the preferences file for Sublime Alignment:

   • Windows: Preferences > Package Settings > Alignment > Settings - User
   • Linux: Preferences > Package Settings > Alignment > Settings - User
   • Mac OS X: Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Package Settings > Alignment > Settings - User

2. The file should be empty. Put the following in it:

    {
        // The mid-line characters to align in a multi-line selection, changing
        // this to an empty array will disable mid-line alignment
        "alignment_chars": [
            "=", ":"
        ]
    }

3. Save & close the preference file. By default, Sublime Alignment works with "=". Now it works with "=" and with ":". You may also add any other symbols.
