2014-04-04 Thread JP Lew
Hi: in order to yank a line, I know I can go `yy`. The problem is, this copies the carriage return at the end. What I do instead is position the cursor on the first character of the line, then go `v$hy` to select everything except the last character from the right. Is there a better way to do

increment character under cursor

2012-09-21 Thread JP Lew
Hi: I was wondering if it was possible for Vim to increment the character I have selected under the cursor, rather than the whole number. For example, let's say I have a line like this: margin-bottom: 30px; I want it to be 40px instead. If I place my cursor over the '3' then hit CTRL-A, I get '31

vim can't find carriage returns

2011-05-24 Thread JP Lew
