Describe the feature

Sublime Text has an Arithmetic command that I find myself using quite a bit. Here is a video describing the command in details, but below are some examples for how I use the command. These examples are extremely simplified, but I think get the point across.

Adding incrementing numbers to lists.

Adding ids/classes in HTML.

Adding debugging in multiple places. (This is a contrived example from Laravel where the dd call is used for debugging.)

Setting up multiple array items starting from 0.

Hopefully something like this can be added to Zed 😊

Ooh! This is really neat! I've dabbled around in Sublime Text and knew there was an arithmetic modal popup, but never realized it could be used across multiple cursors like this - that definitely makes it more of a valuable feature than I originally thought!

Note that the Arithmetic command is quite powerful because it essentially evaluates any Python expression given there and pre-defines a few local variables for the expression, that being s for the selected text, i for the current selection index, and x for the evaluated selected text if it can be evaluated as Python code (e.g. a number literal). The latter allows to increment each selected number by 1, for example.

yeah, I ended up spending about an afternoon playing around with the arithmetic command and now I totally want it in Zed! 😅
