I took a _quick_ look at this but was unable to replicate the
problem. If I set 'cindent' and type your second example, I get
this:
myvariable_name = (
x = "something",
)
where Vim aligned that closing parenthesis as shown.
This behavior will depend on the various indent settings. What
language are you using? Are you using an indent plugin? What are
these values:
:verbose set cindent? cinoptions? indentexpr?
By the way, () are parentheses, not braces. Braces are {} and
brackets are [].
