I'm using vim-easy-align plugin and when in bash scripts I try to align $ at the beginning of variable names, the aligning adds spaces around the delimiter, i.e. <space>$<space> which of course makes those variables meaningless.
Are there options or tips to temporarily or permanently disable this? for specific delimiters? That is, to allow spaces around = and other delimiters, but not the variable leaders such as $.
Should I make a \$\w regex instead of just using the $?
FileType solution, just for reference to whoever can use it....
"---- Easy Align ---- {{{
xmap ga <Plug>(EasyAlign)

$to theiskeywordoption (forshfiles) ?set iskeyword=@,$with a shell file open and there was no difference in theeasy-alignresults - still space on either side. Same spacey thing with=signs and other characters used.marginson each side of the character to align. I'll need to create a special function for all uses to make default left and right margins=0.
