Allow arbitrary spacing inside function calls

[mawkler]

Hi! I would like to be able to align the arguments of multiple similar function calls. Here's an example:

map('n',        '<C-j>',   quickfix_step('below'), { buffer = true })
map('n',        '<C-k>',   quickfix_step('above'), { buffer = true })
map('n',        '<Space>', '<CR><C-w>p',           { buffer = true })
map({'n', 'x'}, '<CR>',    '<CR>',                 { buffer = true })

Currently when I run the formatting it is changed to this:

map('n', '<C-j>', quickfix_step('below'), { buffer = true })
map('n', '<C-k>', quickfix_step('above'), { buffer = true })
map('n', '<Space>', '<CR><C-w>p', { buffer = true })
map({'n', 'x'}, '<CR>', '<CR>', { buffer = true })

Is it possible to tell the formatter not to touch the spaces inside function calls?

currently not, but I'm refactoring code. want to make it possible.

If my formatter doesn't satisfy you, you can use ---@format disable inside the statement block, disable formatting within the current statement block. eg:

function f()
    ---@format disable
    map('n',        '<C-j>',   quickfix_step('below'), { buffer = true }) 
    map('n',        '<C-k>',   quickfix_step('above'), { buffer = true })
    map('n',        '<Space>', '<CR><C-w>p',           { buffer = true })
    map({'n', 'x'}, '<CR>',    '<CR>',                 { buffer = true })
end

Ok thank you. I look forward to the refactoring!

this feature complete by refactor branch, but it's still a few weeks before you see it

[CppCXY]

see #80 similar feature is complete.
but what are the principles for recognizing your needs?
for eg. different function call

p(1, 2, 3)
ppppp(1, 2, 3)

different but similar length

aaa(1, 2, 3)
bbb(1, 2, 3)

or only same function call

map(1, 2, 3)
map(4, 5, 6)

The previous solution was to ignore white space in function calls, now I want to automatic align it

[mawkler]

@CppCXY To me it's enough if I could just tell EmmyLua not to modify the spacing between function arguments. Are you saying that #80 should support that now?

yes

Awesome, thank you!
