INTRODUCTION *table-mode-introduction*
Table Mode is simple plugin that makes building tables in vim a breeze. It is
inspired from tpope's auto aligning script for creating tables in vim -
https://gist.github.com/tpope/287147, which in turn utilizes the Tabular
Plugin.
===============================================================================
REQUIREMENTS *table-mode-requirements*
This depends on the Tabular plugin - https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular,
make sure it is installed and loaded.
===============================================================================
GETTING STARTED *table-mode-getting-started*
Using Table Mode is dead simple. You simply start typing on a new line with
the table separator - |g:table-mode-separator|, and you just type away! The
plugin does the rest automatically for you as you type. With each additional
separator you add, it aligns the table properly, without having to do
anything else.
The table mode is disabled by default and you can enter table mode using
|table-mode-toggle-map| or you can also enable it permanently using
|g:table-mode-always-active| if you wish.
===============================================================================
OPTIONS *table-mode-options*
Overview:
|table-mode-loaded| ............. Disable the plugin.
|table-mode-border| ............. Enable border.
|table-mode-corner| ............. Set corner character.
|table-mode-separator| .......... Set separator character.
|table-mode-fillchar| ........... Set table fillchar character.
|table-mode-toggle-map| ......... Set table mode toggle mapping.
|table-mode-always-active| ...... Set table mode to always enabled.
|table-mode-delimiter| .......... Set the delimiter for Tableize.
|table-mode-tableize-map| ....... Set mapping for Tableize.
|table-mode-tableize-op-map| .... Set mapping for Tableize with input.
|table-mode-align| .............. Set the text alignment for
Tableize.
|table-mode-no-border-padding| .. Set for no border padding.
|table-mode-realign-map| ........ Set mapping for table realigning.
|table-mode-motion-prefix| ...... Set prefix for table mode motions.
g:table_mode_loaded *table-mode-loaded*
Use this option to disable the plugin: >
let g:table_mode_loaded = 1
<
g:table_mode_border *table-mode-border*
Use this option to enable / disable table border: >
let g:table_mode_border = 1
<
g:table_mode_corner *table-mode-corner*
Use this option to define the table corner character: >
let g:table_mode_corner = '+'
<
g:table_mode_separator *table-mode-separator*
Use this option to define the table column separator character: >
let g:table_mode_separator = '|'
<
This option also defines the trigger to be used to start creating a
table row in insert mode.
g:table_mode_fillchar *table-mode-fillchar*
Use this option to define the table border fill character: >
let g:table_mode_fillchar = '-'
<
g:table_mode_toggle_map *table-mode-toggle-map*
Use this option to define the mapping for toggling the table mode: >
let g:table_mode_toggle_map = '<Leader>tm'
<
Read |table-mode-mappings-toggle| for more info.
g:table_mode_always_active *table-mode-always-active*
Use this option to permanently enable the table mode: >
let g:table_mode_always_active = 0
<
This will trigger table creation once you type the
|table-mode-separator| as long as it's the first character on
the line, which can be annoying. I recommend you to instead use the
|table-mode-mappings-toggle| or |table-mode-commands-toggle| to toggle
the table mode or |table-mode-commands-enable| to enable and
|table-mode-commands-disable| to disable mode when needed.
g:table_mode_delimiter *table-mode-delimiter*
Use this option to define the delimiter which used by
|table-mode-commands-tableize| >
let g:table_mode_delimiter = ','
<
g:table_mode_tableize_map *table-mode-tableize-map*
Use this option to define the mapping to invoke |:Tableize| with
default delimiter, i.e. |:Tableize| without input. >
let g:table_mode_tableize_map = '<Leader>tt'
<
g:table_mode_tableize_op_map *table-mode-tableize-op-map*
Use this option to define the mapping to invoke |:Tableize| with input
parameter. This option will ask for command-line input {pattern} that
defines the delimiter. >
let g:table_mode_tableize_op_map = '<Leader>T'
<
g:table_mode_align *table-mode-align*
Use this option to define the format for text alignment to be used for
the tables. Go through |tabular-walkthrough| for details on how to set
the format options for alignment. >
let g:table_mode_align = 'l1'
<
g:table_mode_no_border_padding *table-mode-no-border-padding*
Use this option to remove the border padding (extra spaces around the
|table-mode-fillchar|). >
let g:table_mode_no_border_padding = 0
<
NOTE this option changes |table-mode-align| to 'c0', so that
there is no extra padding around the contents.
g:table_mode_realign_map *table-mode-realign-map*
Use this option to define the mapping for realigning table columns.
This is useful in case you make edits to an existing table. >
let g:table_mode_realign_map = '<Leader>tr'
<
g:table_mode_motion_prefix *table-mode-motion-prefix*
Use this option to define the prefix for table mode motion commands. >
let g:table_mode_motion_prefix = '<Leader>t'
<
You can move to the next / previous row / column using the motion
commands. The motions 'hjkl' follow the prefix are in accordance to
standard vim character motions to make them easier to remember. They
may also be preceeded with a [count]. The 'h', 'l' (left and right
motions) wrap around the table row and move to the previous rows last
column, next rows first column respectively if one exists.
===============================================================================
MAPPINGS *table-mode-mappings*
*table-mode-mappings-toggle*
<Leader>tm Toggle table mode for the current buffer. You can change this
using the |toggle-mode-options-toggle-map| option.
NOTE This is applicable only if
|table-mode-always-active| is not set.
*table-mode-mappings-trigger*
| Trigger table creation in table mode. You can change this
using the |toggle-mode-options-separator| option.
<Leader>tt Triggers |table-mode-commands-tableize| on the visually
selected content.
*table-mode-mappings-op-trigger*
<Leader>T Triggers |table-mode-commands-tableize| on the visually
selected asking for user to input the delimiter.
*table-mode-mappings-realign*
<Leader>tr Realigns table columns
===============================================================================
COMMANDS *table-mode-commands*
*:TableModeToggle*
*table-mode-:TableModeToggle*
:TableModeToggle
Toggles the table mode. Same effect as |toggle-mode-mappings-toggle|.
NOTE this is applicable only if |table-mode-always-active| is
not set.
*:TableModeEnable*
*table-mode-:TableModeEnable*
:TableModeEnable
Enables Table Mode.
NOTE this is applicable only if |table-mode-always-active| is
not set.
*:TableModeDisable*
*table-mode-:TableModeDisable*
:TableModeDisable
Disables Table Mode.
NOTE this is applicable only if |table-mode-always-active| is
not set.
*:Tableize*
*table-mode-:Tableize*
:Tableize
This converts the current line into a table if it consists of
|table-mode-delimiter|. This accepts a range, without which it
applies on the current line.
This accepts a {pattern} similar to Tabular which defines the
delimiter. eg.) >
:Tableize/;
<
The above command will Tableize using ';' as the delimiter.
NOTE this is optional, by default without the expression it will
tableize the content using |g:table-mode-delimiter| as the delimiter.
