 car = 2

• =/f or =/lf or =/l1f or =/lf1 or =/l1f1 aligns only the first =

apple  = 1==0
banana = 100
car    = 2

• (?<==)\s*./l1r0l0f1 aligns the first non-space character just after =

apple =  1==0
banana = 100
car =    2

Simple table

apple& orange &grapes
   one & two& three

• & or &/l or &/l1 yields

apple & orange & grapes

• &/c2l1 or &/c2l or &/(c2l)*3: two spaces after odd columns

apple  & orange  & grapes
 one   &  two    & three

one   &  two   &  three

Javascript object properties

var x = {
  foo: "hello",
  someLongProp: "some other value",
  x: { x: 12, y: 13 }
};

• (?<=:) /l1l1f

var x = {
  foo:          "hello",
  someLongProp: "some other value",
  x:            { x: 12, y: 13 }
};

Features:

• keeps : with the property name (required by JS)
• does not change literal objects that appear as property values

Another Javascript example

var express = require('express'),
http = require('http'),
path = require('path'),
jadebrowser = require('jade-browser');

^\s*(?:var)?\s*\S|=/lr0llf2 yields

var express     = require('express'),
    http        = require('http'),
    path        = require('path'),
    jadebrowser = require('jade-browser');
