InsertNums

[jbrooksuk]

Hi all,

Back in 2011, I wrote my first Sublime Text plugin, InsertNums. Today I'm finally releasing a new version. It's somewhat a mash up between the original InsertNums and IncrementSelection, as now you can increment through letters as well as numbers.

Ctrl+Alt+N will bring up the input panel, then just use

Code: Select all

1 1 0

for numbers (where the first 1 is your starting number) or

Code: Select all

a 1 0

where a is your starting letter.

One of the great side effects of introducing alpha sequences is that you can generate seemingly (but definitely not) random sequences. For instance, using

Code: Select all

a 12345 0

will generate the following across three selections:

Code: Select all

a
rfv
ajmq


All that's happening there is that the next letter in the sequence is shunted across by the step amount.

Anyway, you can find InsertNums on GitHub.

Hi, it would be nice to have such plugin form me, but it is not working in ST2 for me.
It promts me for two numbers and after any combination onlu one number is entered in text.

Any idea? thank you.

How many selections do you have? It'll only put one number per selection.

It takes two numbers. First is the starting number (default 1) second is the increment number, so if you start from 1 and increment 2, you'll get 1 3 5 7 etc etc

@jbrooksuk: I found this very useful and submitted this to Sublime Package Control. It is available to install now under the name InsertNums. Repo is at https://bitbucket.org/markstahler/insert-nums

@kramed Thank you for setting up the package. I noticed that the description on the bitbucket page says the default binding is Control + Shift + N, but it seems the actual binding is Control + Alt + N. Could the description be fixed?

Thanks!

Good catch. Fixed.

Yay! First real update in two years. It's finally on GitHub and compatible with ST3 and should be ST2 too.
