Vim 8 has the similar built-in feature but behave differently.
In vim 8, ctrl+A in visual's column increase the numbers by the same step.
While g+ctrl+A behave same like this.
So when updating to vim 8, these two behavior may be a confliction.
Is increasing by the same step omitted on purpose or implemented by another shortcut?
more see this.

In some case there are already some lines with number:

1
4
7
8

I want it be formatted to:

1
2
3
4

But actually it becomes:

1
5
9
11

Maybe add a 'force' mode to override the rest line?

I used Vendle to install this plugin but got the following error:

[2023-09-08 10:12:33] Plugin https://github.com/triglav/vim-visual-increment.git

[2023-09-08 10:12:33] > error: unknown option `shallow-submodules'

Could you tell me how can I fix this problem? Thanks!

I've rebound <C-a> to a slightly customized one. It gave me some unexpected behaviour. Fortunately, using normal! makes vim use the builtin default, and everything works again.

VIM 7.4 on Debian 8.6

Sometimes it can be useful, but sometimes it is annoying, like in this case:

server-1.
server-1.
server-1.
server-1.

after selecting column of 1s and pressing CTRL-A the result will be:

server-1.
server0.
server1.
server2.

Maybe there could be some option or separate mode to stick to a selection.

Great plugin btw, saves a lot of time.

this may just be how it works, but its not how i would expect it to. looks like it increments the first number on each line?
thanks for checking it out!

source:

"item":    "item.1",
"item_2":  "item.1",
"another": "item.1",
"other":   "item.1",
"more":    "item.1",

expected:

"item_2":  "item.2",
"another": "item.3",
"other":   "item.4",
"more":    "item.5",

actual:

"item_3":  "item.1",
"another": "item.3",
"other":   "item.4",
"more":    "item.5",

Vim visuel increment seems not to Work in Neovim. I haven't idea why.
Thanks in advance for the answer

Hi, I just wanted to let any users of this plugin know that the behavior this plugin provides is already built into vim through g<C-a> and g<C-x>. See :help v_g_CTRL-A.

So to emulate this plugin I've just added these simple mappings to my vimrc so the:

vnoremap <C-a> g<C-a>
vnoremap <C-x> g<C-x>
vnoremap g<C-a> <C-a>
vnoremap g<C-x> <C-x>

I've used this plugin for many years, so thanks to the maintainer for providing this in the first place.

For example, Select and C-a:

0
0

0

Expected result:

0
1

2

Actual result:

0
1
