center-text.vim

center-text.vim is all about formating comments. The plugin provides mappings to easily center comments padded with most punctuation chars.

It's easiest to explain with examples.

In a Javascript file press \fch inside

// some comment

to change it to

//                                some comment                                //

In a bash file press \fch- inside

# some comment

to change it to

# ------------------------------- some comment ------------------------------- #

In a vim file press \fch* inside

" some comment

to change it to

" ******************************* some comment ******************************* "

This plugin is great for breaking files into sections.
