description

Take the following date: 1999-12-31 Because Vim treats the hyphen as a negative sign, pressing CTRL-A 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<C-X> 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.  CTRL-A and CTRL-X accept a count, and plain number incrementing is used if no date format is matched. Use of CTRL-A/X 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). Can also increment roman numerals and ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd, ...).  In visual mode, letters of the alphabet are supported. d<C-A> sets the timestamp under the cursor to the current time.  d<C-X> does the same, but uses UTC rather than the local time. The "." command will work as expected if you install repeat.vim, vimscript #2136. Feedback wanted: speeddating currently supports locale dependent day/month names/abbrevations, but also includes English abbreviation support.  However, most of the built-in formats just use the English version, because it is either mandated by a standard (like RFC 822) or because they are typically used in an international context (like the Last Change: header in Vim scripts).  Is it even worth supporting the locale dependent names at all?  Is anyone actively using them? http://github.com/tpope/vim-speeddating

speeddating.zip	20100301	2010-03-01	7.0	Tim Pope	Fix hanging when incrementing a month across a year boundary.
speeddating.zip	20100219	2010-02-19	7.0	Tim Pope	Real documentation file. CTRL-X on March 31 yields February 28 not March 3.
speeddating.vim	20081016	2008-10-16	7.0	Tim Pope	Fix false positives on patterns with periods
speeddating.vim	20080314	2008-03-14	7.0	Tim Pope	Basic timezone support. Formats like "Fri Mar 14" are smartly incremented, rather than assuming the year 2000. Fixed error when wrapping down that would result in things like 23:60:60.
speeddating.vim	20080129	2008-01-29	7.0	Tim Pope	Integer treated as unix timestamp with maps for current time. %* at beginning/end of pattern suppresses \</\>. %0x in a pattern is %x with mandatory leading zeros. Three new default formats.
speeddating.vim	20080120	2008-01-20	7.0	Tim Pope	Removed days of week.  They may be added back if desired with :SpeedDatingFormat (%A is full name, %a is abbreviation). Roman numerals are now just a special year format.  They can be disabled with :SpeedDatingFormat! (%^v for uppercase, %v for lowercase). Changed default "now" mappings to d<C-A> and d<C-X>. Bug fixes, mostly concerning visual mode.
