Any ides have support for this? I feel like I've been waiting forever.

Looks like there's an emacs package for elastic tab stops.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Of-fucking-course there is.

Essentially no. I wish so badly that this had taken off.

Edit: as noted on the website, various plug-ins that attempt support are in fact not correct.

What do you mean? There's a ton of working plugins listed on the website for many editors.

Sorry, my phrasing was sloppy. Most popular IDEs and editors do not have a plug-in or setting that implements elastic tabstops correctly. In particular, there's no implementation for vim, emacs, VSCode, eclipse, or any JetBrains IDEs. (I had forgotten that there's one for Visual Studio and one for Notepad++.)
