Question

Is it possible to align by Lua key like this?

{ on = "<Esc>", run = "escape",             desc = "Exit visual mode, clear selected, or cancel search" },
{ on = "<C-[>", run = "escape",             desc = "Exit visual mode, clear selected, or cancel search" },
{ on = "q",     run = "quit",               desc = "Quit the process" },
{ on = "Q",     run = "quit --no-cwd-file", desc = "Quit the process without outputting cwd-file" },
{ on = "<C-c>", run = "close",              desc = "Close the current tab, or quit if it's last" },
{ on = "<C-z>", run = "suspend",            desc = "Suspend the process" },

Thinking about binding that to a mapping.

Also thinking of a way to move the order of all the keys.

Thanks.

The closest approximation here is to align by , and press i to apply ignoring common separators (which by default excludes separators from inside "" quotes).

Also thinking of a way to move the order of all the keys.

I usually resort to aligning first and then using exchange operator from 'mini.operators' with blockwise visual selections:

• Press <C-v> and select the rectangular block for the first key.
• Press gx.
• Select rectangular block for the second key.
• Press gx.
