My other question about tab-delimited files reminded me to ask about
this, too. I frequently want to vertically align text.
E.g. the 'comment's in the following:
create table blah (
id int primary key auto_increment comment 'autoid',
info text comment 'some text',
another_value varchar(255) comment 'another value'
);
Or the '|'s and '\'s in this:
filename is [table].[YYYYmmdd].[###].[type]
| | | \-- bz2 or xz
| | \-- per-day run identifier
| \-- date files generated
\-- replace underscores with hyphens
Is there a built-in command to roughly: "pad with spaces until the
cursor is below the next non-whitespace character on the previous line"?
Or a plugin? Or will I be writing some vimscript? :-)
Look into Align.vim; \tsp does whitespace based alignment
