Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue, so start by locating the legend and axis-layout code in the R package. Define how legend alignment should work for individual plots and shared legends, then add coverage showing the legend edges align with the axis start and end.

Description
I wonder if it would be possible to implement a feature that make it possible to align the legend with the start and end of the axis. For example, in the figure below the legend extends along the Y-axis, perfectly aligned with the start and end of the axis. This new feature can be extended to the sharing of a single legend by multiple plots.
