Description stuardo 2015-12-04 21:28:40 UTC 
In the Editor / Formatting / Language: PHP, Category: Alignment / Group Multuiple Alignment , there is a  [ ] Assignment option. This allows me to make more readable code like this:

$foo    = foo();
$fooBar = fooBar();

where the equal sign is aligned in both lines. There is no option in the Language: JavaScript to do the same. Every time I type:

var foo    = foo();
var fooBar = fooBar();

The IDE rewrites the lines removing the spaces before the equal sign in the firs line.

This also happens for defining an object. If I type

var app  = new MyApp({
    quitOnError: true,
    email:       user,
    password:    pass
});

After saving the document, the spaces are rewritten to 

var app  = new MyApp({
    quitOnError: true,
    email: user,
    password: pass
});

This is not implemented yet. Marking as enhancement. 
Thanks.
