description
Usage:

Put the cursor anywhere on these lines. The range will be guessed and the first
sequence of numbers will be transformed. If you want to transform the second
sequence of numbers you must use a visual block selection (dashes in this
example).

array [1] = 9              array [1] = -9-              array [1] = 9
array [1] = 9              array [2] = -9-              array [2] = 8
array [1] = 9    alt-a:    array [3] = -9-    alt-x:    array [3] = 7
array [1] = 9              array [4] = -9-              array [4] = 6
array [1] = 9              array [5] = -9-              array [5] = 5

With a count:

array [1] = 9                array [1] = -9-                array [1] = 9
array [1] = 9                array [3] = -9-                array [3] = 7
array [1] = 9    2 alt-a:    array [5] = -9-    2 alt-x:    array [5] = 5
array [1] = 9                array [7] = -9-                array [7] = 3
array [1] = 9                array [9] = -9-                array [9] = 1

Note: If the range is not easy to guess, use a selection instead

If you wanted to increment / decrement all numbers by only one, select your
lines and press ^a / ^x

   v mode                     ^v mode
array [1] = 8             array [6] = -8-             array [6] = 5
array [1] = 8             array [6] = -8-             array [6] = 5
array [1] = 8    5 ^a:    array [6] = -8-    3 ^x:    array [6] = 5
array [1] = 8             array [6] = -8-             array [6] = 5
array [1] = 8             array [6] = -8-             array [6] = 5

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This plugin integrates with Tim Pope's repeat plugin. It means that you can use
. to repeat any normal mode (for now) sequence mapping you just used!

For more information see: http://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have the possibility to define your own custom mappings in your .vimrc:

    vmap <m-a> <plug>SequenceV_Increment
    vmap <m-x> <plug>SequenceV_Decrement
    nmap <m-a> <plug>SequenceN_Increment
    nmap <m-x> <plug>SequenceN_Decrement

    vmap <c-a> <plug>SequenceAdd
    vmap <c-x> <plug>SequenceSubtract

Note: You can replace Alt+a, Alt+x, Ctrl+a and Ctrl+x with whatever you like.
