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-options-loaded| .......... Disable the plugin
|table-mode-options-border| .......... Enable border
|table-mode-options-corner| .......... Set corner character
|table-mode-options-separator| ....... Set separator character
|table-mode-options-fillchar| ........ Set table fillchar character
|table-mode-options-toggle-map| ...... Set table mode toggle mapping
|table-mode-options-always-active| ... Set table mode to always enabled
|table-mode-options-delimiter| ....... Set the delimiter for Tableize
|table-mode-options-align| ........... Set the text alignment for Tableize
g:table_mode_loaded *table-mode-options-loaded*
Use this option to disable the plugin: >
let g:table_mode_loaded = 1
<
g:table_mode_border *table-mode-options-border*
Use this option to enable / disable table border: >
let g:table_mode_border = 1
<
g:table_mode_corner *table-mode-options-corner*
Use this option to define the table corner character: >
let g:table_mode_corner = '+'
<
g:table_mode_separator *table-mode-options-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-options-fillchar*
Use this option to define the table border fill character: >
let g:table_mode_fillchar = '-'
<
g:table_mode_toggle_map *table-mode-options-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-options-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-options-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-options-delimiter*
Use this option to define the delimiter which used by
|table-mode-commands-tableize|
g:table_mode_align *table-mode-options-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'
===============================================================================
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-options-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>T Triggers |table-mode-commands-tableize| on the visually
selected content.
===============================================================================
COMMANDS *table-mode-commands*
*:TableModeToggle*
*table-mode-commands-toggle*
:TableModeToggle
Toggles the table mode. Same effect as |toggle-mode-mappings-toggle|.

not set.

|table-mode-options-delimiter|. This accepts a range, without which it
applies on the current line.
