# 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).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend
|
|
installing [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), and
|
|
then simply copy and paste:
|
|
|
|
cd ~/.vim/bundle
|
|
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-speeddating.git
|
|
|
|
Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with
|
|
`:help speeddating`.
