Create a column comment in python source file

Question

Hello I want to create a comment section right next to all my code lines for documentation purposes. I have over 1000 lines of code and I don't want to place all the # by myself.

The result I want to achieve:

    code()              # comment
    code()              # comment
    code()              # comment
    code()              # comment

Is there a way to do this automaticly?

There are a number of extensions that do this well. See, e.g., Simple Alignment. Just select the characters you want to align.

You can bind the Align command to a keybinding if you want.

{
  "key": "alt+a",
  "command": "simple-alignment.align"
},

you can place Multi Cursors.

Make sure you don't have Word Wrap enabled

click on the first line
Shift+Alt Click on the last line
End - to go to the end of the line
Type a number of spaces to make all lines larger than your comment column
Home - go to start of line
Use Arrow Right to move to your comment column
Sift+End Delete - to remove extra spaces
Type # comment
Esc - to leave Multi Cursor
