vim-easy-align

This plugin allows you to align things.

| {Visual} ⏎ | activate for selection | | ga {motion} | activate for motion/text object | {:.greycode}

After activating, press a delimiter key. Available delimeters are:
<Space> = : . , & # |

Example

a = foo
pi = 3.1415
hello = 'world'

Press vip ⏎ or gaip to activate via ip (inner paragraph). Then press =

a     = foo
pi    = 3.1415
hello = 'world'

Useful delimiters

Variable assignments

gaip = will align 1st occurence of equal sign

var one   = 1;
var three = 3;

JSON or YAML

gaip : will align 1st occurence of colon

url:      jdbc:mysql://localhost/test
database: test

Markdown tables

*| Align all table delimeters

| `<Enter>` | right align                  |
| `1`       | on 1st occurence             |
| `2`       | on 2nd occurence (and so on) |

Ruby or Python comments

# Align comments

let x = true     # one
let y = false    # two
let z = "abcdef" # three

Modifiers

| 1 | on 1st occurence (default) | | 2 | on 2nd occurence | | 3 | on 3rd occurence (and so on) | | * | on all occurences | | - | on last occurence | | -2 | on 2nd to the last occurence |

You may type modifiers before a delimiter. Example: gaip *| will align all | delimiters.

Alignment

| ⏎ | change alignment align |

Example: gaip ⏎ = right aligns whatever is before the first delimeter (equal sign).

express = require('express')
  xtend = require('xtend')
    pip = require('pip')

Example: gaip ⏎ 2| right aligns the 1st Markdown table column (ie, before the 2nd delimiter).

|     apple | $ 20 |
|    orange | $ 42 |
| pineapple | $ 11 |

Margins

Example: gaip <ctrl-l> 8⏎ = puts 8 spaces before the equal sign

var x         = "one"
var xyz       = "two"
