{
    "svban/NumbSub.nvim",
    cmd = { "NumbSub" }, -- lazy load on this command
    opts = {},
}

Usage:

:NumbSub p<pattern> m<s|a|p|r|R> [s<start>] [n<count>] [S<step>] [w|W|w<width>|W<width>] [l<loop>|L<loop>] [c]

Arguments

• p - define the pattern here - should be a number only pattern while using mp & ma
• [s] - start of the sequence - defaults to 0 if not provided
• [S] - step size - defaults to 1 if not provided
• [n] - add step size only after n substitutions, for example increase counter only after 4 substitutions - defaults to 1 if not provided
• [w] - width - specify a number with w or use only w for auto width - doesn't take negative sign into account
• [W] - Width - specify a number with W or use only W for auto width - takes negative sign into account
• [l] - loop - loop the pattern after l*n.
• [L] - loop - loop the pattern after l.
• [c] - confirm on each match
• [fmt:] - uses lua string.format(), similar to C's printf.

Modes

• ms : sequence - just replace the pattern with the list of numbers generated
• mr : reverse sequence - start replacing pattern from the bottom of the list generated and then take n in to account
• mR : Reverse sequence - first take number of matches into account then start replacing pattern from the bottom of the list generated
• mp : progressive - add list of numbers generated to the pattern
• ma : add - add step to the pattern, only S and p is mandatory when using this mode
