struct Ident arr = [ { .id = 0, .name = "Bob", .pubkey = "", .privkey = "" }, { .id = 1, name = "Alice", .pubkey = "", .privkey = "" } ]
Man you’re a genius ;)

When I talk about alignment it’s not about function arguments, but values, “=” signs and such. You simply cannot use tabs for that because alignment must be fixed and indentation independent:

I normally avoid that too, I find it hurts readability more than helps, plus a proper IDE will separate it by color anyway.

To each their own indeed. But my rule of thumb is: only use tabs when there’s no other character before it (aka, start of line).

This kind of “manual” alignment should be avoided for many reasons including the fact that adding/removing/changing of one parameter here may force you to modify multiple lines which on it’s own is annoying but this will also show up in the diff during review making it harder to grep what was actually changed.

I personally favor code readability over patch readability. But I reckon this is a matter of preference so I can understand how you might not like that.

Yeah I agree I don’t find alignment very useful. It’s more work for dubious benefit, and god forbid you change one of the lines.

People seem to have a real issue with using new lines and I’ve never quite understod why.
It feels like a lot of those people are using notepad like applications instead of coding focused ones with collapsible regions etc.
