Sometime this year (I think patches 754-823) the g_CTRL-A command was introduced to create increasing sequences of integers (:help v_g_CTRL-A). Also CTRL-A/CTRL-X was modified to respect visual mode better. So the plugin is probably not even required anymore. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
