> Why do you want to recalculate the number of spaces before 'that' based on any change to the length of the function name 'connect'
from experience ? connect is a Qt function that dates back to 1995, it's been here for the last 30 years, it'll be there when I retire. Optimizing my experience for "what if connect was renamed" is a big YAGNI.
> , and why do you realize you don't want to when it comes to aligning connect with 'foo' to be consistent with this styling instead of indenting priority?
I don't understand what you mean there, what would "aligning connect with foo" mean ?
