@mydeveloperday I'm not sure I follow, do you suggest `PointerAlignment: Custom` and then another option `PointerAlignmentOptions` to configure the individual options?

I'm fine to rework it like that if that's what you want for consistency but I also have to mention that I find my approach much nicer.
