Font width in Properties Drawer

Font width in Properties Drawer

[Garrett Rolfs]

I'm experimenting using proportional width fonts for prose portions of
my org file. I have found resources showing how to configure fixed width
fonts for code blocks, property values, etc. This is a nit-picky
question, but is there a way in a properties drawer to have fixed width
spacing in the area between the org-special-keyword and the
org-property-value? I have both faces configured to be fixed width, but
I cannot align the property values because this area is proportional.

Executing C-u C-x = on a space in this area indicates there is no face
defined. So I suspect the answer is currently no.

Thank you.

I don’t know if this is useful feedback, but I’m running Org-mode
version 9.3.7 and in my properties drawers, the keywords are in
org-special-keyword face and the values are in org-property-value face.

                                        Be seeing you,

Thank you. Both are fixed width. I'm wrestling with the space in
between. With differing length property names I was hoping to be able to
have my proprieties drawer look something like:

:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:            :var service_host="api.github.com"
:header-args+:           :var repo_source="repos/myid/myrepo"
:header-args:restclient: :var accept="Accept: application/json"
:END:

However the spaces between org-special-keyword and org-property-value
are a different width. I can get close but things look a little
squiggly. This is a very minor issue. Thanks for the feedback!
