Is there a way to increment numbers when using multiple cursors in Atom?
Atom EditorAtom Editor Problem Overview
I find myself doing this over and over again. It can be pretty time consuming. What options are available for this?
Atom Editor Solutions
Solution 1 - Atom Editor
The Increment Selection package might be what you're looking for. It seems to be working with multiple cursors, so should be pretty close to your use case:
> Select a block of text and hit ctrl-shift-i to replace it with incrementing numbers > > * Uses first line's number if any > * Works with multiple cursors
Solution 2 - Atom Editor
There are a few others available now too. Increment Selection hasn't been touched in 2 years.
Newest and most robust seems to be: https://atom.io/packages/multi-cursor-increment
It can set things to incremental numbers and even move everything up or down by 1 afterwards.
Another option: https://atom.io/packages/increment-me
Solution 3 - Atom Editor
or you may try emmet
{item$$, }*3 will transform to item01, item02, item03,
P.S. I am using atom.io, didn't know if it works on sublime-text or other editor.
