Help shows commands misaligned #46

Closed Nemo157 closed 3 years ago

Using tabs for alignment is wrong, they should only be used for initial indentation, since you don't know where the users tab stops will be.

Thanks for the report!

I was under the impression that this is how most tools with subcommands handled help text. Are you aware of a better way? Say, spaces, non-breaking spaces, or something else entirely from the dark corners of ascii?

Nemo157 commented 3 years ago

Afaik generally tools just use spaces, e.g. clap use fn spaces for dynamically calculated widths and a hardcoded TAB made of spaces for static widths.

Fixed in 180c07aaed3767cc4775a34d922bca3078ada946. Ripgrep doesn't show any other tabs in the codebase.
