Found this addon last night and its really handy. I do have some feedback. First is the hotkey, when you add the addon, nothing is shown about the hotkeys. It could be a nice idea to add hotkey options in the preferences.

The naming of the modes is a bit vague, why not give them clear names. For instance, we see 2 times selection, i guess the placement in the pie-menu tells as what side it will align to. But why not simply give it left, right etc etc. Also the other ones like dependencies and dependent.

The vertical offset doesnt seem to work on all nodes. I tested super simple scene with a couple material outputs and Princibled BSDF and i noticed the material outputs did seem to work, yet the Princibled BSDF did not get that offset. After i tried it again a couple times and changing the offset height, it does seem to work. Not sure whats going on.

Thanks for the feedback. I added the info about hotkeys on the GitHub page. Anyway, I'll add that in the preferences too.

I have explained how each mode works, read this: https://github.com/3DSinghVFX/align_nodes and also on my youtube channel: https://youtu.be/9ynGGldv70w. A new mode will be added for one of the selections, for the time being, I added that second selection mode.

Actually, this is the problem with box selection which does not keep the selection order of the nodes. I do not know yet how to resolve this. If you select the nodes manually then it will work. Another issue that is not yet fixed, is if the nodes are inside the frame, then this addon does not align them properly.
