2021-01-09Idea for a Readline binding to increment/decrement a numberTeddy Wing
Want something similar to <C-a> and <C-x> in Vim. This function matches and increments the number, but I'm currently stymied on how to insert the number into the current line. There doesn't appear to be a way to do that, except perhaps with the `shell-expand-line` function, and I don't want to use that because I just want to insert the number, not expand other parts of the shell line. The other sticking point is how to read the value of the `universal-argument`. There doesn't currently seem to be a way to do that in a custom function. I had a new idea for the number insertion problem, though. It's possible I could replace the number, <C-c> the line, and reinsert a new copy with the incremented/decremented number on the new shell line. That still wouldn't resolve the `universal-argument` problem.
