Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/156

Someone has written an issue about text alignment, but I want to emphasis here that if the text alignment can't be done automatically, then it should be able to be done manually through setting whether to align the text to left (default), centered, or right.

Of course the app should be able to do it automatically by analyzing the text position on the screen. If it's on the left zone then the text will be left-aligned. If it's on the center the text will be centered. If it's on the right zone the the text be right-aligned. However, the manual text alignment should be still provided, in case a user wants the text centered though it’s on the left zone of the screen, for whatever reasons.

+1 to this.
There is no point to moving the cast to the right of the screen if it can't be right aligned

+1 that would be great. I am using it in bottom right corner and it cuts of occasionally

Thanks for the feedback. Bottom-right corner is not well supported by the default visualizer right now; fixing that is a goal for an upcoming release. It's not as easy as it should be however, as it forces the need to settle some technical debt in how the app's main window is managed.

Following up on my last comment from over a year ago, bottom-right corner is already better supported in the current version; I'll consider making other text alignment improvements a theme for an upcoming release.

It would be great to have the option to choose left, central and right alignment. Or, at least, to choose the width of the visualizer and have the text centered in it. This would make it possible to move the visualizer in any position without having issues.
