Increment characters too? #9

Open ReneFroger opened 8 years ago

Hi there!

Thanks for sharing this package! It's appreciated.

However, I noticed one feature of Vim is missing. When your cursor is on the letter A and you increment it in Vim, it will change the A into a B.

But this is not the case for this package. And I miss that a lot, especially when I record a macro to edit preformatted code for spreadsheets (like A1, B1, C1, etc.).

Would this Vim feature be available too?

Any update on this, @cofi ?

I guess this package is not maintained anymore?

I asked it elsewhere:

Is this a default feature of vim? Because my vim does not do that. It does do hexadecimal numbers, but not any character. I also wouldn't want this (not as default at least), as the commands also search forwards to the next number, which may be useful and this makes almost everything a number. Furthermore when incrementing a whole region of numbers at once this would also increment all other words in that region which seems highly undesirable to me. If you feel different, feel free to open an issue on my fork.
