Why tie the alignment dialogue into combinations at all?
If it were to have a single alignment at a time and each step happened on screen immediately, instead of the combinations that are first selected then applied, it would be simpler and with fewer mouse-clicks (no need to click on the drop downs or the apply button).
For instance to align all selected to the left and distribute top to bottom;
With the present dialogue that would take no less than seven mouse clicks/keypresses (including opening and closing the dialogue).
Without the combinations it would take four mouse clicks.
Click-open dialogue, click -everything selected aligns to the left, click - selection distributed from top to bottom, click-close dialogue.
And you can see what is happening on screen as you do it.
This would leave 14 align and distribute options (no need for the no change-option) and the three areas options = 17 icons altogether.
Still too big to be on the selector options bar permenantly, but easier to use?
