  • Align by a Delimiter:
    :Tabularize: /: Align lines based on a specified delimiter.
    For example, to align lines by equal signs, use :Tabularize /=.
    Align by Regular Expression:

:Tabularize: /<regular_expression>: Align lines based on a regular expression.
For example, to align lines by spaces or tabs, use :Tabularize /\s+.
Align by a Range:

:Tabularize: / : Align lines within a specified range.
For example, to align lines within a visual selection, use :'<,'>Tabularize /=.
Custom Alignment:

• You can specify a custom alignment character or string. For example, :Tabularize: / / will align lines using spaces.
  Automatic Alignment with Operators:

• In normal mode, select the lines you want to align.
  Then, use the :Tabularize: command to automatically align the selected lines based on the delimiter, regex, or alignment character you specify.
  Repeat the Last Tabularize Command:

:Tabularize (without any arguments) will repeat the last Tabularize command with the same arguments.
Visual Mode Alignment:

• In visual mode, select the text you want to align.
  Then, press :, and Vim will automatically add '<,'> to the command for aligning the selected visual block.
  Custom Mappings:

You can create custom mappings in your .vimrc to quickly apply Tabularize to common delimiters or regex patterns. For example:

nnoremap a :Tabularize /,

• This mapping allows you to align text by commas by typing a in normal mode.

== table mode ==

| name | price |
| phil | 3 |
| susan | 5 |
| janice | 8 |
| doreen | 39 |
| cordelia | 12 |
| --------------------+------- | |
| total | 67.0 |
%% tmf: $8,2=Sum(2:-1)
leader tt = csv to table
:Tableize

leader tm = :TableModeToggle

• then you can pipe away
• double pipe does horiz sep

== moving ==
bracket / curly brace + pipe

== editing ==

ci| = change in cell /
ca| = change around cell
leader tdd = delete row
leader tdc = delete column
leader tic = insert col

== formulas ==
leader tfa =:TableAddFormula
leader tfe = evaluate
leader t? also eval (no need it auto evaluates)

Sum(2:-1) that means col 2 and -1 = row above current line

Sum(2,2:-1) 2,2 is start at col 2 row 2
when you specify a pair of values eg 2,2 its specific to that row
when you just have 1 its the whole column.
