Hi everybody,
I'm using Vim 7.0.94 on Linux. I use C-A and C-X from time to time to
increment/decrement numbers. However when there is a leading zero I
get very strange behaviour with both.
Example:
01
02
03
04
05
06
07
08
09
10
11
:nmap <F7> <C-X>j
I position the cursor on 01 and press F7, this works fine up to 08.
For 08, 09 and 10, the leading zero dissapears.
:nmap <F7> <C-A>j
Use the same unmodified list.
This is even weirder. 07 becomes 010, 08 becomes 9, and the rest
seems ok.
That's because vim knows about octal numbers (base 8 instead of 10).
Octal numbers normally start with a 0.
Do others see the same behaviour. What am I missing?
No I don't, I don't like this behaviour as well, so I've put the
following in my .vimrc:
set nrformats-=octal
Peter
I've gone even farther: since I want Ctrl-A and Ctrl-X to skip letters (be
they A-F or G-Z) and to act on numbers in decimal mode only, I use
:set nrformats=
(decimal number format is always recognised). This way, repeated use of Ctrl-A
will step 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11 etc., and Ctrl-X will step 11, 10, 9, 8, 7
etc. or 011, 010, 009, 008, 007 etc. Of course (and this is what I want, but
it may or may not be what the OP wants) hitting Ctrl-A or Ctrl-X on the zero
of 0x4A now produces 1x4A or -1x4A respectively.
Best regards,
Tony.
