Set line width #39

Open grigosback opened 3 years ago

Request a new feature

It would be nice to have an option to set the maximum line width and apply the alignments under that directive.

Example Input:

If I set the line width in 79 chars:

signal user_start_write, user_start_read, user_fin_read, user_fin_write, user_read_mismatch, byte_high, command : std_logic;

Example Output:

signal user_start_write, user_start_read, user_fin_read, user_fin_write,
       user_read_mismatch, byte_high, command : std_logic;

Or maybe:

signal user_start_write, user_start_read, user_fin_read,
            user_fin_write, user_read_mismatch, byte_high, command : std_logic;

Thanks for the suggestion. It's quite hard to implement and will introduce bugs since I don't know all the cases. The one you showed above is one of many possible cases. What long sentences should be wrapped.?

The main cases that come to my mind now are long signal declarations and constant declarations
