Code-formatting: How to align multiline code to special characters?

Question

Is IDEA or one of its plugins capable of aligning code to special characters?

I mean so that the code

Map(
  \'name -> \"Peter\",
  \'age -> 27,
           


        

Answer 1

You can align case statements, however:

value match {
  case s: String => Some(java.lang.Long.parseLong(s))
  case bi: BigInt => Some(bi.longValue)
  case _ => None
}

Like so:

value match {
  case s: String  => Some(java.lang.Long.parseLong(s))
  case bi: BigInt => Some(bi.longValue)
  case _          => None
}

Use option:

Settings -> Code Style -> Scala => Wrapping and Braces -> 'match' and 'case' statements -> Align in columns 'case' branches
