description

DESCRIPTION This plugin offers commands and mappings that align only the text to the right of the cursor, and keep the text to the left unmodified, unlike the built-in :left and :right, which always work on the entire line. This is useful e.g. for right-aligning the "-- Author" attribution in a fortune, the help tags definitions in this help file, or to left-align a comment to a particular column. The alignment width defaults to 'textwidth', can be passed as a [count] to the mappings, and there are mappings that take the actual width from adjacent previous / next lines. RELATED WORKS - The Align plugin (vimscript #294) offers a general-purpose :Align command   and many mappings for text alignment along various characters, but those are   more specialized for certain syntax fragments and do not consider the   current cursor position like this plugin. - The Tabular plugin (https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular) is similar to the   Align plugin. USAGE [width]<Leader>le :[range]LeftAlignFromCursor [width]                         Left-align the text part right of the cursor to                         [width] columns (default 'textwidth' or 80 when                         'textwidth' is 0). Cp. :left.                         Applies to all lines in [range], based on the current                         cursor position. [count]<Leader>lp       Left-align the text part right of the cursor to the [count]<Leader>ln       indent of the [count]'th previous / next line. [width]<Leader>ri :[range]RightAlignFromCursor [width]                         Right-align the text part right of the cursor to                         [width] columns (default 'textwidth' or 80 when                         'textwidth' is 0). Cp. :right.                         Applies to all lines in [range], based on the current                         cursor position. [count]<Leader>rp       Right-align the text part right of the cursor to the [count]<Leader>rn       width of the [count]'th previous / next line.

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
AlignFromCursor-1.12.vmb.gz	1.12	2013-01-19	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Fix slowness of :RightAlignFromCursor in connection with plugins like recover.vim, caused by the repeated triggers of InsertEnter / InsertLeave events inserting a single space.
AlignFromCursor-1.11.vmb.gz	1.11	2012-12-06	7.0	Ingo Karkat	BUG: On repeat, the original [count] is overridden by the align commands, causing e.g. a toggling of right-align and align to column 1 on repeated <Leader>ri.
AlignFromCursor.vba.gz	1.10	2012-08-02	7.0	Ingo Karkat	ENH: Do not :retab the entire line (which also affects leading indent and whitespace after the area, just render the modified whitespace around the cursor according to the buffer's indent settings.
AlignFromCursor.vba.gz	1.00	2012-08-01	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Initial upload
