I knew this site would teach me more about my beloved vim
:-) In posting a question/answer on how to delete large blocks without having to count lines, one of the answers taught me something I didn't know, that being relative line numbers along the lines of:
2 This is line 1
1 This is line 2
3 This is line 3, the current line.
1 This is line 4.
2 Line 5.
3 Line 6.
Now, if you wanted to delete lines 3, 4 and 5, you can simply add one to the relative line number (2) and use that to set the count, the command being 3dd
.
However, adding one seems a bit obscure so I was wondering if you could configure the line numbers in relative mode to be more like this:
2 This is line 1
1 This is line 2
3 1 This is line 3, the current line.
2 This is line 4.
3 Line 5.
4 Line 6.
That way you could simply transcribe the number into the command without having to think about it.
