I discover the CSV feature and find it great useful.

For example have an list with a few items in one line and an specific delimiter:

Now sometimes you want the columns adjusted for better overview?
So use "Edit > Separated Values/Sort > User Defined"

If your separator is an coma use CSV, if it is an tab use TSV.

Very fine Yutaka! Thanks, thats very useful to me every few weeks!







But now i have a few questions:

1.) CSV seams not to work with selection, or IOW
i want to skip some lines at the top and only CSV
some lines below. Can that be improved? (or i would
use what i ask now in Q2 below)


2.) How can i make the separating stay for ever?
Means; i want to add spaces after the last char/sign
in each line till the next column to have this alignment stay even after leaving CSV-mode.





Or as an more general approach i would like to suggest an feature "Fill with..."


"Fill with..." should fill each "non-used position" with an given sign.

For example i have tis block:


I want to select that block, call "Fill", enter an space
or an 'X' here for better visibility, and would get:


Then i could select an CSV column and use "Fill..."







I see for spaces i can use Column-Selection for this:
- make an one-position selection right after the last sign
- type an any sign (the lines are filled up with spaces)
- delete that typed sign (the spaces are still there)

but this didn't work in CSV-mode
and this works to fill spaces only, not other signs like dots f.ex.

Quote:


If i use "Separated Values"
the columns are nicely aligned
at the given delimiter.

But how can i insert spaces to
have them separated even if i
leave "Separated Values" mode?

Hi Yutaka, unfortunately I have seen no feedback from you about this issue.


Don't you think this would be a nifty enhancement?
