I had already read this, and experimented with it. I selected the text via a Ctrl-V and issued a: ":Align \tsp" and nothing happened. Since I had tried many other things to get the plugin to align on white spaces before I found alignmap-tsp, I did it again just to make sure and saw the same result: the buffer is not modified. I read (again) the intro at :h align-maps, sourced AlignMaps.vim to be on the safe side, repeated the experience a couple of times, once with a different test file containing: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ a b c d a b c d a b c d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ .. and still nothing happens. I'm running Vim 7.1 on a debian lenny system and the plugin was installed like so: # vim-addons -v -w install align In other words, it's the version of the plugin that ships with Vim, installed by root, system-wide.
