Considering we have the current data:
ID NAME AGE
1 Joan 29
2 Peterson 16
3 Hunt 47
4 Wenche 12
5 Kennedy 29
6 Lottie 31
And the cursor is the on the N
in NAME
, how would I go about selecting the text so that, if |
is the delimiters of the visual block, the selection should be like this
ID |NAME | AGE
1 |Joan | 29
2 |Peterson| 16
3 |Hunt | 47
4 |Wenche | 12
5 |Kennedy | 29
6 |Lottie | 31
The trailing whitespace after each element to match the width of Peterson
is not necessary, but I need a quick way to highlight the current block, if it exists.
