manipulate multiple numbers in the document. Useful for writing .md files, snippets etc.

README

This plugin lets you modify the numbers in your text document.

Use cases

Useful while writing .md files where suppose you are writing a ordered list and you decide to insert a new list element in between. Now you have to increase all the numbers below this element manually. Instead, after installing this plugin, you can do this easily:

1. Select all those lines
2. do a ctrl-shift-L to get multiple cursors
3. Press Home to go to the start of each line(where I assume the numbers are written)
4. 'ctrl-shift-p' -> "increment numbers"

P.S: I know you don't have to write correct numbers in your .md files but I like to keep it clean

Another Use case is when writing snippets. There are ${1} kind of placeholders. What do you do if you want to insert a placeholder in between? You use my plugin!
