Vim Easy Align Custom Rule for $

I use Junegunn’s Vim plugin vim-easy-align to make it easier to align my code. Unfortunately, this plugin does not have a default mapping for aligning the dollar sign ($).

Because the plugin is designed to be extensible, I was able to add support for aligning by the dollar sign ($) by adding the following to my .vimrc file

let g:easy_align_delimiters = {
\ '$': {
\      'pattern':       '$\+',
\      'right_margin':  0,
\      'stick_to_left': 0,
\      'ignore_groups': ['!Comment']  },
\ }
