Example

Start text:

var x = 1
var xx = 2
var xxx = 3
var xxxx = 4
var xxxxx = 5
var xxxxxx = 6

Command:

:'<,'>Align =

Resulting text:

var x      = 1
var xx     = 2
var xxx    = 3
var xxxx   = 4
var xxxxx  = 5
var xxxxxx = 6

You can then operate on the same text again without highlighting it. For example:

:Align x\s*=

Resulting in:

var      x      = 1
var x    x     = 2
var xx   x    = 3
var xxx  x   = 4
var xxxx x  = 5
var xxxxxx = 6
