Quickly increment/decrement

#vim

While in command mode in vim, type CTRL+A to increment the number under the cursor by one. Type CTRL+X to decrement the number.

This works for decimal, hex, and event octal numbers!

The number doesn't have to be under the cursor. C^a, C^x work also on the first number on the right.
