vim: insert increase numbers on the specified column？

Question

I want to insert increase numbers on the specified column, such as the 8th column, but:r.seq 10 insert on 1st column. I try

:set ve=all

8|<C-V>9jA0<ESC>gvlg<C-A>

but that's too clumsy.

So，can i use:r?seq 10 on the 8th column if not use visincr plugin. Just like Alt funtcion of notepad++.

Answer 1

Don't see what's wrong with g<CA> , but as an example of alternative solution:

:call setreg('', system('seq 10'), 'b2')

Then move cursor where you want and press P

With a bit of effort you can develop it into general purpose command/function/mapping by adding support to interactive input() , error checking, auto-computing block width, etc.
