Several others have given a function+substitute solution; here's one
using visincr:
case 1:
(duplicate as needed)
(use ctrl-v motion to select the 1s in a column)
:I
You can get visincr from:
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VISINCR
(cutting edge)
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=670 (stable)
There's a lot of other incrementing/decrementing commands there besides
:I...
Quick overview:
:I [#] left justified incremented list
:II [# [zfill]] right justified incremented list
:IO [#] left justified octal incremented list
:IIO [# [zfill]] right justified octal incremented list
:IX [#] left justified hex. incremented lsit
:IIX [# [zfill]] right justified hex. incremented lsit
:IYMD [# [zfill]] year/month/day incremented list
:IMDY [# [zfill]] month/day/year incremented list
:IDMY [# [zfill]] day/month/year incremented list
:IA [#] alphameric incremented list
:ID [#] dayname incremented list
:IM [#] monthname incremented list
(things line up with a fixed font)
