# speeddating.vim
Take the following date:
1999-12-31
Because Vim treats the hyphen as a negative sign, pressing `<C-A>` on the 31
would normally increment it to
1999-12-30
Compare this with what happens when speeddating.vim is installed:
2000-01-01
Pressing `5<C-X>` on the `03` in the first line below transforms it into the
second:
Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:03 +0000
Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:58 +0000
Several date, time, and datetime formats are included. Additional formats can
be defined in a strftime-like syntax with the `:SpeedDatingFormat` command.
Existing Vim semantics are preserved. `<C-A>` and `<C-X>` accept a count, and
plain number incrementing is used if no date format is matched.
Use of `<C-A>`/`<C-X>` in visual mode enables incrementing several lines at
once. Blank spots are filled by incrementing the match from the previous
line, allowing for creation of sequences (1, 2, 3; 2000-10-30, 2000-10-31,
2000-11-01).
It can also increment roman numerals and ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd, ...). In
visual mode, letters of the alphabet are supported.
`d<C-X>` sets the timestamp under the cursor to the current time. `d<C-A>`
does the same, but uses UTC rather than the local time.
The `.` command will work as expected if you install
[repeat.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat).
