That's a very interesting idea... I might give that a try!

You can also cheat by writing the name with the same color as the
background on the next lines (kind of like \vphantom in LaTeX). This has
the advantage of aligning based on the length of each name instead of
pushing everything to the right of the longest name, while working for any
font.

Another approach might be to use multiple editor-snip%

within a pasteboard% https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui/pasteboard_.html
Or possibly together with other snip instances, I currently don't have the
time to experiment with it
and no experience

You might also consider having two text%s, one with the names and one with
the rest. They would scroll independently in that case, but you can hide
the scrollbars on one and ove
Hello,
I'm building a little chat application with Racket. Overall Racket's
GUI tools are quite comfortable, and I'm just using Rakcet's text editor
stuff to build the chat. But a fairly standard thing to do with chat
applications is to have text like:
