Restore ability to increment numbers left of cursor #26

Closed rien333 closed 3 years ago

rien333 commented 3 years ago

After years of using cofi/evil-numbers, I'm quite used to being able to have my cursor one character to the left of a number, and then running evil-numbers/* commands.

The following did work previously, but now just outputs evil-numbers/inc-at-pt: No number at point or until end of line

foo(1█; # the block is the cursor

This behavior was included in version 0.4, to which I've downgraded for now.

The behavior you described diverges from VIM, since this package aims to replicate the functionality of VIM, this is not considered a bug.

Note, there could be an option (off by default) to search backwards when searching forward doesn't yield any results.

I think including this as an option makes sense.

I don't use this package because it's just like Vim (never used it as an emacs user), but (1) because melpa now downloads this fork, instead of cofi/evil-numbers, and (2) because its more maintained than the original. In any case, I find it kinda odd that this package aims to replicate Vim, since the readme actually explictly mentions a behavior that diverges from Vim. (+it doesn't explictly describe itself as a duplicate of Vim)
