Ruby symbols

[goodgravy]

Breakage when trying to align symbols like period and period_start here:

  t.string  :period, limit: 16, null: false
  t.timestamp   :period_start, null: false

A workaround is supplying a custom VAlign.sublime-settings – can I suggest you add docs on how to do that because most people could scratch their itches then.

Sorry for taking forever to reply...I'm actually not sure how you could modify the settings to make this work in a way that also doesn't break the standard : alignment.

I think this could be fixed with a new feature that places alignment characters on the left or right based on its context, so if you have property: value, the colon will be on the left, and if you have ruby_method :symbol, the colon will be on the right. I'll try to add this the next time I'm able to work on the plugin.
