atom-increment package

atom-increment is a package i wrote for the Atom text editor.
It increments values from either a selection, multiple cursors or a combination of both.

See Figure 1 for a screenshot.

Usage

You can increment :

• numbers using :

  • atom-increment:incNumber command,
  • ctrl-alt-i keyboard shortcut,

• strings using :

  • atom-increment:incString command,
  • ctrl-alt-j keyboard shortcut.

Settings

Please note that you might need to refresh your Atom application for your settings changes to take effect.

You can define settings for number or string type :

• Numbers
  • Increment Start Value : default is 0
  • Increment Size : default is 1
  • Integers of same size : boolean that states if every generated number will be of the same size (in this case, we add trailing '0' if needed), default is false
  • Integers minimum size : minimum size for every generated number, default is 3

Those default values will generate a sequence like so : 0 1 2 3 4 etc...
If you set start value to 10 and size to 2, it will generate : 10 12 14 16 etc...

• Strings (for example : aaa aab aac etc...)
  • Left to right : boolean that states if we increment letters starting from left side, default is false
  • Minimum size : minimum size for every generated string, default is 3
  • Same size : boolean that states if every generated string will be of the same size (in this case, we add trailing 'a' if needed), default is true
  • Upper case : boolean that defines string case, default is false (= lower case)

There are also general settings :

• orderByClick : boolean which defines the order of a generated sequence, default is false
  • if true, the generated values will follow the click order (when using ctrl+click for multiple cursors for example)
  • if false, the generated values will follow the top-down order

Note

The number of generated elements will only depend on your selections / multiple cursors.
