Align End Of Line Comments in Vim?

Question

Inside Vim, is there a formatting command that would align a block of end of line comments?

For example in C++, it would turn this:

m_varName1;   //          


        

Answer 1

The tabular.vim plugin should be able to do this. Select them visually, and align them with

:Tabularize /\/\/

Answer 2

Use the Align plugin for Vim to align based on whatever separator(s) you choose.

Answer 3

I have had a similar problem today where I wanted to align on a whitespace in a certain position. Just wrote a blog post about how I did it with the Align plugin.
