Haha, I have a workaround... I now type some spaces and a dot. Set the color of the dot to transparent. Ugly, but it works.

First thought option + space was a non breaking space, but it is equivalent to a tab.. How would I get a space that is treated as visible character on the Mac?

That is a good idea. I experimented with TextEdit which has the exact same behaviour... I didn't realise that spaces at the end of the line are normally ignored in right alignment. Odd...

Thanks for your reply. However, this does not achieve what I am trying to do. Indenting moves all lines to the left. Probably when I am typing a paragraph, and it continues on the next line it will allign to the far right, but I have hard returns, so this won't work. I have a code block of code with mono spaced font, so manual spaces would be no problem in this case. Normally you would indent a code block from the left, but in this special case I want to indent it from the right. I am just a bit confused by the choice to ignore spaces in the right alignment of text. I will end op setting tabstops I guess... Ah. no, tabs are ignored at the end of the line too. Hmm... I'll work around it by making it a separate text frame, for the line which needs to indent.

How can I make the right align of a text frame respect the spaces at the end of a line? Right now, if the last characters of a line are spaces, the line is aligned by its last visible character, not the last character of the line. I am trying to indent lines from the right.
