No. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Size-of-Displayed-Text.html You'd need pixel alignment. Here’s a version that aligns the left part pf tags. (defun org-align-tags-here (&optional arg) ;; Assumes that this is a headline "Align tags on the current headline to TO-COL." (save-excursion (when (org-at-heading-p) (beginning-of-line) (re-search-forward org-complex-heading-regexp (line-end-position) t) (when (match-end 5) ; There’s a tag. (goto-char (match-end 4)) (delete-region (point) (match-beginning 5)) (insert (propertize (make-string (- (abs org-tags-column) (current-column) (- (match-end 5) (match-beginning 5))) ?\s) ;; one would need somehow intelligently figure out ;; the maximum pixel number. 'display '(space :align-to (600)))))))) Questions if we were to pixel align: - Can we drop right alignment of tags? (i.e. org-tags-column < 0). - We might need to know the pixel width of :tags: anyway to set the width of the white space to "right-margin" - "width-of-tags". Is this robust to resizing? Or is there a "\hfill"-like property for Emacs space? - How to determine max width on "auto-filled" file? Go through each line or just make it a custom value? Perhaps a nice "conservative" way is to introduce a org-tags-column-pixel, but if we can find a good "automatic" way that’s nicer IMO.
