To disable wrapping, set 'nowrap'. Vim doesn't have any built-in
features to show the columns aligned, but you can reformat the text
(meaning, change the buffer) to align the columns (if you don't want
to save, you may just undo). I use Dr. Chip's excellent align plugin,
though I end up having to replace the <Tab>'s with a non-existing
separator character (such as ":") and run ":Align :" to get all of
them to align. There might be an easier way to do this, so check the
docs.
