# VIM Table Mode An awesome automatic table creator & formatter allowing one to create neat tables as you type. # Installation There are 2 ways to do this 1. I recommend installing pathogen.vim and then adding a git submodule for your plugin: ```sh $ cd ~/.vim $ git submodule add git@github.com:dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode.git bundle/table-mode ``` 2. Copy table-mode.vim into ~/.vim/plugin/ (Unix) or vimfiles/plugin/ (Windows) as with other plugins. # Requirements Depends on Tabular. Make sure Tabular is installed and loaded into your runtime to ensure this works. # Usage By default the table column separator is '|' (it can be changed). As soon as you type it on a new line (ignores indentation) the script gets to work on creating the table around it. As you type and define more columns, the table is completed, formatted and aligned automatically. Since this could lead to unwanted behavior I have disabled table mode by default. You would have to use `:TableModeToggle` command or the table mode toggle mapping, which is `tm` by default. This is on a per buffer basis and so it does not mess up unless enabled explicitly. Please read `:h table-mode` for further information.
