Re: How can I select multiple lines that are not in a continuous chunk?

Thanks for the reply. Now I know it isn't possible to do so.

I was trying to align using Tabularize plugin:

1. name1="Woof"
2. lucky_dog = lucky( "dog_one"= name1,
3. "dog_two"= name1 )
4. name2="Howl"

I wanted it to align like this:

1. name1 = "Woof"
2. lucky_dog = lucky( "dog_one"= name1,
3. "dog_two"= name1 )
4. name2 = "Howl"

But I cannot do so because Tabularize will take third line into consideration, and align everything into:

1.name1 = "Woof"
2.lucky_dog = lucky( "dog_one"= name1,
3. "dog_two" = name1 )
4.name2 = "Howl"

I believe I could think of some regex trick to archive the desired results, it just occurred to me at first that maybe I could simply select line 1,2,4 and make those align.

Then I realized this is not a easy task, and hence the question.

Thanks once again for the advices.
