How can you align the text inside labels with pgfplots? In the example below, I would like to align both the k's and the m's.
documentclass[preview]standalone
usepackagepgfplots
begindocument
begintikzpicture
beginaxis[
title=$y=kx+m$,
ylabel=$y$,
xlabel=$x$,
legend cell align=left,
]
addplot[blue, domain=1:4, samples=4] 10*x - 5;
addlegendentry$k = 10$, $m = -5$
addplot[red, domain=1:4, samples=4] 2*x + 3;
addlegendentry$k = 2$, $m = 3$
endaxis
endtikzpicture
enddocument

I don't think that there is general way, at the end you have two more or less independant nodes. How at best to "synchronize" their content depends a lot on the concrete case. And almost everything that works is ok.
In your example I would probably use eqparbox:
documentclass[preview]standalone
usepackagepgfplots
usepackageeqparbox
begindocument
begintikzpicture
beginaxis[
title=$y=kx+m$,
ylabel=$y$,
xlabel=$x$,
legend cell align=left,
%legend columns=2
]
addplot[blue, domain=1:4, samples=4] 10*x - 5;
addlegendentryeqmakebox[m1][l]$k = 10$, $m = -5$
addplot[red, domain=1:4, samples=4] 2*x + 3;
addlegendentryeqmakebox[m1][l]$k = 2$, $m = 3$
endaxis
endtikzpicture
enddocument

addlegendentry$k = 2$,phantom0 $m = 3$

Yes, I could also do it by inserting ahfillwith the appropriate length as well, but I was wondering if there was a general way.

This solution is similar to the linked one except that I use an array instead of align. Note that the array is actually overlaid over a bunch of struts. Not sure why one needs to tweak arraystretch for this.
