Is there a way/shortcut/built-in feature that can align code for operands, like '=' signs?

For example, there is a XAlign for Xcode (https://github.com/qfish/XAlign), allowing the user to select code that needs to be aligned and use a shortcut to align it automatically.

There is a Fields Group feature in Android Studio which can "Align in columns", but it does not work for code that is already written.
