OmniOutliner: Column Title Alignment

(macOS) A set of commands for setting the horizontal alignment of the outline column titles.

NOTE: When the value of the global columnTitleStyle property of the Outline class is set, it applies to all columns, overriding the current alignment setting of the host column. When the Style.Attribute.ParagraphAlignment attribute of the columnTitleStyle property is cleared (value set to null), the individual column titles will use the same alignment as their host columns.

• “Align Titles Right” • Set the column titles to align to the right of their respective columns.
• “Align Titles Left” • Set the column titles to align to the left of their respective columns.
• “Align Titles Center” • Set the column titles to align in the center of each column.
• “Clear Title Alignments” • Remove all alignment settings. Column titles will use the alignment of their parent columns.
