  • 0

In vim et al, you can increase or decrease the number your cursor is on by using CTRLA and CTRLX. However, this increases the whole number but I would like to simply increase the number directly under the cursor. It’s a little hard to describe so here’s what I mean:

Ctrl+A usage, cursor is over the "6":
[6]5 -> 66

What I need:
[6]5 -> 75

or:
3[8]90 -> 3990

I hope that makes sense.

I’ve googled a bit but I’m not sure if such a shortcut exists so any tips are much appreciated!

    In this case, I usually type r and then the digit I want.
