"align 'when' branches in columns"

[mgroth0]

Expected Rule behavior

The same behavior as IntelliJ's "align 'when' branches in columns"

This:

val result = when(input) {
    "abc" -> true
    "12345" -> false
}

Becomes:

val result = when(input) {
    "abc"   -> true
    "12345" -> false
}

Additional information

• Current version of ktlint: 1.1.1

This will not be implemented. As documented in Kotlin Coding Conventions:

As a general rule, avoid horizontal alignment of any kind. Renaming an identifier to a name with a different length should not affect the formatting of either the declaration or any of the usages.
