I use this plugin and it does a lot for me working with symbolic files, I find myself sometimes that to separate a block of variables from another I insert a nop or a comment line. this confuses the alignment. Can I put a string not to be considered in the configuration file? example exclude ";;" or exclude "//" Thank you

or if possible, define the 1st Tab at 10, the 2nd with 5, the 3rd with 15 and so on, which is valid for the .xxx extension file.

The screenshot helps. Thanks! I definitely understand the need and it seems reasonable but not sure how much it might mess up the algorithm that calculates the tab widths. Depending on how soon I can get my development machine set back up I may or may not attempt this but pull requests are always welcome.

I'd consider this outside the scope of the plugin since it is such a change. This plugin is intended to just implement the original design as specified here: https://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/
