INTRODUCTION *makecols*
|
|
|
|
This plugin is a tool for converting lists into columns.
|
|
|
|
Details follow on the exact semantics, but first, consider the following
|
|
examples. It is assumed that you have selected the "Old text" column.
|
|
|
|
Old text Command New text ~
|
|
1 3mcv 1 4 7
|
|
2 2 5
|
|
3 3 6
|
|
4
|
|
5 5mc 1 2 3 4 5
|
|
6 6 7
|
|
7
|
|
|
|
While a few features of this plugin will work in older versions of Vim,
|
|
Vim 7 is recommended for full functionality.
|
|
|
|
MAPPINGS *makecols-mappings*
|
|
|
|
Make columns is *mc* . This can be prefaced with the number of columns
|
|
to make and suffixed with nothing, *v* , or *h* . However, the default is
|
|
horizontal, so specifying *h* would be redundant.
|
|
|
|
TARGETS *makecols-targets*
|
|
|
|
The |mc| |mch| and |mcv| commands all take a *linewise* visual selection.
|
|
They can be prefaced with a number to specify the number of columns the
|
|
output should generate.
|
|
|
|
REPLACEMENTS *makecols-replacements*
|
|
|
|
All highlighted text will be removed and replaced by the generated output.
|
|
|
|
CUSTOMIZING *makecols-customizing*
|
|
|
|
One can use a global variable for globally available replacements.
|
|
>
|
|
let g:makecols_cols = 5 " default no of cols to 5
|
|
let g:makecols_orientation = "horz" " default sorting [horz|vert]
|

|
|
ISSUES *makecols-issues*
|
|
|
|
Vim could potentially get confused when deleting/changing occurs at the very
|
|
end of the line. Please report any repeatable instances of this.
