# nvim-align

## Usage

```vim

" In visual mode

:'<,'>Align regex_pattern.*

```

*Note:* If used in normal mode, the previous visual selection will be used.

*Note:* See help docs for more information.

## Example

Start text:

```text

var x = 1

var xx = 2

var xxx = 3

var xxxx = 4

var xxxxx = 5

var xxxxxx = 6

```

Command:

```vim

:'<,'>Align =

```

Resulting text:

```text

var x      = 1

var xx     = 2

var xxx    = 3

var xxxx   = 4

var xxxxx  = 5

var xxxxxx = 6

```

You can then operate on the same text again without highlighting it. For example:

```vim

:Align x\s*=

```

Resulting in:

```text

var      x      = 1

var x    x     = 2

var xx   x    = 3

var xxx  x   = 4

var xxxx x  = 5

var xxxxxx = 6

```
