<p>Makecols.vim is intended to easily convert lists into column based
layouts.</p>
<p>The easiest way to explain is with examples.</p>
<p>Say you have a list of things (in this case numbers)</p>
<pre><code>1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
</code></pre>
<p>and you’d like it to look neater</p>
<pre><code>1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
</code></pre>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm3JodBR-vs&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=25s">That’s pretty neat</a></p>
<h2>
<a id="usage" class="anchor" href="#usage" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Usage</h2>
<p>Here’s how you do it.</p>
<p>Start with a list like above.</p>
<pre><code>1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
</code></pre>
<p>Then visual select the rows you’d like to make neat.</p>
<p>Then type <code>mc</code> and viola! The data has automagically been reconstructed
into a satisfactory arrangement.</p>
<pre><code>1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
</code></pre>
<p>You are now free of the worry caused by inadequate single column list layouts. Carry on.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can do things like <code>3mcv</code> which would make 3 columns, and arrange to a vertical sorting like so:</p>
<pre><code>1 5 9
2 6 10
3 7
4 8
</code></pre>
<h2>
<a id="installation" class="anchor" href="#installation" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Installation</h2>
<p>If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend
installing <a href="https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen">pathogen.vim</a>, and
then simply copy and paste:</p>
<pre><code>cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/leothelocust/vim-makecols.git
</code></pre>
<p>Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with
<code>:help makecols</code>.</p>

<p>Just pull, make some changes, and create a merge request.</p>
