columnize.nvim
Format selected lines of text into columns of equal width.
I wrote this plugin in order to keep my Kmonad configuration in shape. Time will tell if there are any other use cases for it. At least I now have written my first plugin for Neovim :tada:.
Installation and configuration
lazy.nvim
Add the following to the list of your plugins:
{
'jakeru/columnize.nvim',
dependencies = {
'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
},
config = true,
}
If you also want to be able to invoke this tool by pressing a few keys, add something like this to your configuration:
vim.keymap.set("v", "<Leader>c", require('columnize').columnize,
{ desc = "Columnize selected lines" })
Usage
Select the lines you want to columnize and run the command Columnize
. You can
also invoke this tool by assigning it a key combination, as explained earlier.
The command Columnize
uses the maximum word length as column width per default.
If you instead want to use a fixed column width, supply the wanted column width
as an argument, like this: Columnize 12
.
Note that a column width of 12
means that a word with a maximum of 12
positions will fit in it. . Columns are divided by spaces and these spaces are
not included in the fixed column width
parameter.
