This week I learned 23 — late post

This week I forgot how to increment numbers in vim. I figured I’ll write it down here if I forget it again.

From help v_g_CTRL-A

                                                        *v_g_CTRL-A*
{Visual}g CTRL-A      Add [count] to the number or alphabetic character in
                      the highlighted text. If several lines are
                      highlighted, each one will be incremented by an
                      additional [count] (so effectively creating a
                      [count] incrementing sequence).
                      For Example, if you have this list of numbers:
                              1. ~
                              1. ~
                              1. ~
                              1. ~
                      Move to the second "1." and Visually select three
                      lines, pressing g CTRL-A results in:
                              1. ~
                              2. ~
                              3. ~
                              4. ~

This is a pretty neat one.
