vim-lesser-align
================
Yet another Vim alignment plugin without too much ambition.
This plugin clearly has less features than the other pre-existing ones with the similar goals,
but it is simpler, easier to use, and good enough for the most of the cases.
Usage
-----
Vim-lesser-align defines `LesserAlign` command in the visual mode.
For convenience, it is advised that you define a mapping for triggering it in your `.vimrc`.
```vim
vnoremap <silent> <Enter> :LesserAlign<cr>
```
Then a key sequence becomes a combination of 3 parts.
1. `<Enter>`
- Shortcut for `:LesserAssign<cr>`
1. Integer (*optional*, default: 1)
- `1`: Alignment around 1st delimiter
- `2`: Alignment around 2nd delimiter
- `...`
- `*`: Alignment around all delimiters (tabularize)
1. Delimiter
- `=`: Operators containing equals sign (=, ==, !=, +=, &&=, ...)
- `<space>`
- `:`
- `,`
- `|`
Examples
--------
| With visual map | Description | Equivalent command |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `<Enter>=` | Alignment around 1st equals sign (and the likes) | `:'<,'>LesserAlign =` |
| `<Enter>2=` | Alignment around 2nd equals sign (and the likes) | `:'<,'>LesserAlign 2=` |
| `<Enter>3=` | Alignment around 3rd equals sign (and the likes) | `:'<,'>LesserAlign 3=` |
| `<Enter>*=` | Alignment around all equals signs (and the likes) | `:'<,'>LesserAlign *=` |
| `<Enter><space>` | Alignment around 1st whitespace | `:'<,'>LesserAlign \ ` |
| `<Enter>2<space>` | Alignment around 2nd whitespace | `:'<,'>LesserAlign 2\ ` |
| `<Enter>:` | Alignment around 1st colon | `:'<,'>LesserAlign :` |
| ... | ... | |
Defining custom alignment rules
-------------------------------
Define (or override) alignment rules.
```vim
let g:lesser_align_delimiters = {
\ 'x': {
\ 'pattern': '[xX]',
\ 'margin_left': ' <<<',
\ 'margin_right': '>>> ',
\ 'stick_to_left': 0
\ }
\ }
```
