align

Align text.

Example

Before:

static const char *sd_cmd_arg_str[] = {
	[SD_CMD_CLEAR_LIBRARY] = "clear -l",
	[SD_CMD_CLEAR_PLAYLIST] = "clear -p",
	[SD_CMD_CLEAR_QUEUE] = "clear -q",
	[SD_CMD_LOAD] = "load %s",
	[SD_CMD_NEXT] = "player-next",
};

After:

static const char *sd_cmd_arg_str[] = {
	[SD_CMD_CLEAR_LIBRARY]  = "clear -l",
	[SD_CMD_CLEAR_PLAYLIST] = "clear -p",
	[SD_CMD_CLEAR_QUEUE]    = "clear -q",
	[SD_CMD_LOAD]           = "load %s",
	[SD_CMD_NEXT]           = "player-next",
};

Before:

int a = 111; // a
int aa = 11; // aa
int aaa = 1; // aaa

After align "<><":

int   a = 111; // a
int  aa = 11;  // aa
int aaa = 1;   // aaa

Note that the last alignment specifier, <, is used for all subsequent columns.

Vim

vnoremap <leader>c :!align<cr>

column -t

This program differs from column -t in the following ways:

  • Empty lines aren't deleted.
  • The text keeps its indentation.
  • You can align right.
  • Unicode support.
