# columnize.nvim

Format selected lines of text into columns of equal width.

I wrote this plugin in order to keep my

[Kmonad](https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad) configuration in shape. Time will

tell if there are any other use cases for it. At least I now have written my

first plugin for Neovim :tada:.

## Installation and configuration

### lazy.nvim

Add the following to the list of your plugins:

```lua

    {

        'jakeru/columnize.nvim',

        dependencies = {

            'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',

        },

        config = true,

    }

```

If you also want to be able to invoke this tool by pressing a few keys, add

something like this to your configuration:

```lua

vim.keymap.set("v", "c", require('columnize').columnize,

    { desc = "Columnize selected lines" })

```

## Usage

Select the lines you want to columnize and run the command `Columnize`. You can

also invoke this tool by assigning it a key combination, as explained earlier.

The command `Columnize` uses the maximum word length as column width per default.

If you instead want to use a fixed column width, supply the wanted column width

as an argument, like this: `Columnize 12`.

Note that a column width of `12` means that a word with a maximum of 12

positions will fit in it. . Columns are divided by spaces and these spaces are

not included in the `fixed column width` parameter.
