Column -t behavior, columnize tabs

#1

Hi,
I was wondering if it’s possible to show tabular data as columns, even when a particular value overflows the column width. Instead of:

Col1    Col2
Short   Short
Longlonglong    Short
Short   Short

I would want to see:

Col1            Col2
Short           Short
Longlonglong    Short
Short           Short

Thanks

I’m not sure if this package does exactly what you’re looking for, but it handles other sorts of alignment issues

Thanks for your answer.

I think this means I would have to manually edit the original file. I was just looking for an automatic way to replicate the behavior of “column -t my_file” in the terminal

If you’re using tabs there you could try this out: github.com/SublimeText/ElasticTabstops
