This plugin lets you modify the numbers in your text document.
Useful while writing .md files where suppose you are writing a ordered list and you decide to insert a new list element in between. Now you have to increase all the numbers below this element manually. Instead, after installing this plugin, you can do this easily:
- Select all those lines
- do a
ctrl-shift-L
to get multiple cursors - Press
Home
to go to the start of each line(where I assume the numbers are written) - 'ctrl-shift-p' -> "increment numbers"
P.S: I know you don't have to write correct numbers in your .md files but I like to keep it clean
Another Use case is when writing snippets. There are ${1}
kind of placeholders. What do you do if you want to insert a placeholder in between? You use my plugin!
