Align key-value pair in PyCharm

Is it possible to set a pair of Align key values ​​in the Pycharm code style? I'm looking for something that will reformat:

nickname = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=24)
biography = models.TextField(default=BIO_DEFAULT_STRING)
avatar = models.ImageField(upload_to='members/avatars/')

in

nickname  = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=24)
biography = models.TextField(default=BIO_DEFAULT_STRING)
avatar    = models.ImageField(upload_to='members/avatars/')

I got it in PhpStorm, can't find it in PyCharm.

You need a function from the String Manipulation plugin :

Menu

→ Code

→Align to Columns



Configure hotkeys

  • Settings

    → Keymap

  • Find "Align Columns" and select
  • Add Keyboard Shortcut

    ( Enter)
  • Install shortcuts (mine Ctrl+ K)
  • Click Apply

    andOk

It's really weird, but PyCharm 2016 has this stuff and I had to look for a way to turn it off. I found this question while searching for "How to align by value".

File - Preferences - Editor - Code Style - Python

There you need the Other tab where you will find the Dict Aligment settings . There are 3 types:

  • Do not align
  • Align by value
  • Colon align

Here is a screenshot

Not sure why they added this stuff, maybe due to platform unification, but it exists and changed to by default 'Align on value'

for me after I updated PyCharm to 2016.2.

UPDATE:



Litle a bit more explanation:

A question has been asked about how to create alignments in PyCharm code generation, for example in dicts .:

This is how the dict should look like via PEP:

i_am_a_dict = {
    key:value,
    another_key:another_value,
    a_very_long_key:one_more_value
}

How it looks in PyCharm after platform update (and this format is NOT PEP compliant, but it can be done using PyCharm settings:

 i_am_a_dict = {
        key:            value,
        another_key:    another_value,
        a_very_long_key:one_more_value
    }

It has been value aligned. And the question was about how to "align key: values ​​in PyCharm"
