My application is my AutoAlign plugin; the first insert of =something doesn't change the text any (AutoAlign does save the position, however, to align subsequent lines against). However, when I am simply inserting things (often =0 or =NULL to declarations), the call to AutoAlign, even though it wasn't changing the text, meant that the "." change wasn't working. (I now have AutoAlign returning an empty string).
So, unless I find a problem with ctrl-r= the ctrl-g ctrl-o combo will be academic for me. Still, it does seem like there should be something to do that, so I still think its a Good Idea!
