in VIM, you can do increment or decrement with the two key commands:
they are
ctrl-a : increase
ctrl-x: decrease
- You can increment a number with control A
- You can decrement a number with control X
- If the cursor is not already on a number, either of these will advance the cursor to the next number
- This does the math for multi-column numbers!
