padline

Features

padline adds <Plug>-mappings and commands to insert or remove padding in the form of empty lines.

Padding can be added above, below or around a line or visual selection.

padline does not have any side-effects such as

• changing cursor position
• modifying jump-list
• starting a new change (ie. it does not break dot-repeatability)

For more information, have a look at the Documentation
