The visincr plugin facilitates making a column of increasing or decreasing numbers, dates, or daynames.

This plug-in required isort.

pip install isort

plug 'fisadev/vim-isort'

Vim

Add the following in your ~/.vimrac in the plug-in section

if you are using vim-plug as vim plug-in manager:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
...

Plug 'vim-scripts/VisIncr'

...
call plug#end()

Neovim

Add the same in the plug-in section in vim config file ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

First, select a column using visual-block (ctrl-v) and move the cursor.

Second, choose what sort of incremented list you want:

• For :I :II :IO :IIO :IR :IIR :

If the visual block is ragged on the right-hand side (as can easily happen when the "$" is used to select the right-hand-side), the block will have spaces appended to straighten it out. If the string length of the count exceeds the visual-block, then additional spaces will be inserted as needed. Leading tabs are handled by using virtual column calculations.

• For :IR and :IIR :

Since Roman numerals vary considerably in their lengths for nearby numbers, an additional two spaces will be included.

• For :IYMD, :IMDY, and IDMY :

You'll need the <calutil.vim> plugin, available as "Calendar Utilities" under the following url:
