# speeddating.vim

Take the following date:

1999-12-31

Because Vim treats the hyphen as a negative sign, pressing `` 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` 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. `` and `` accept a count, and
plain number incrementing is used if no date format is matched.

Use of ``/`` 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` sets the timestamp under the cursor to the current time. `d`
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

Install using your favorite package manager, or use Vim's built-in package
support:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
git clone https://tpope.io/vim/speeddating.git
vim -u NONE -c "helptags speeddating/doc" -c q
