description

Simple script that allows you to easily tab a section of spaces to a desired column; I.e. if you want all your comments to line up on virt col 41 try ":FeralAlign 41" when your cursor is in a position to "ciw"; I.e. saves you from "ciw<tab><tab><tab>"etc. But that is about all this does (= Works with single lines or ranges. Ranges must be specified by a single column, block-wise visual selection; (i.e. "<ctrl-v>j"). So to align 5 lines, place your cursor in a good spot (where a "ciw" won’t keel something important; i.e. spaces before the comment chars) and "<ctrl-v>4j:FeralAlign 41"; easy as that. Limitation: Aligns to the nearest tabstop. This script is possibly of academic value as a way to get a range command to preserve the cursor’s column.

feralalign.vim	0.4	2004-08-11	6.0	Robert KellyIV	As of 0.4 you can bang :FeralAlign to use the space (\s*) between ; and first non space (\S) chars, i.e. C++ style end of line comments. Added :FeralAlign2 which is basically a shortcut for :FeralAlign! virtcol(".") Remmed out :FeralAlignMarkedCol, etc.
