Extension that allows you to easily enter consecutive numbers with multiple cursors

Post by shewlykhatun708 »

This time, I would like to introduce one of the extensions for Visual Studio Code.

Visual Studio Code is a code editor provided by Microsoft. It
is lightweight, highly functional, and easy to use, and is widely supported by developers around the world.
Our engineers also use it as their main editor.

Visual Studio Code has a wide variety of "extensions," and you can improve usability by installing the extension that suits your purpose.

Our company has also introduced many extensions, and this time I would like to introduce one of my personal favorites, "Insert Sequence."

"Entering sequential numbers" is one such simple task.
For example, if the order of a numbered list changes midway through, or if the number of items increases or decreases, you will have to retype all the numbers. Re-
entering the numbers one by one is time-consuming and you may make a mistake somewhere.

That's when "Insert Sequence" comes in handy.
It's a great tool that allows you to enter a large number of sequential numbers at once with simple operations.

Basic Usage
Let's actually try entering consecutive numbers that increment by 1.

First, place the multi-cursor anywhere you like.




Open the command palette with the F1 key and select the command "Insert sequence (number,char,months,etc...)".
A text box will then appear at the top of the window.




In the text box, enter the starting number of the sequence.
You can check the results in real time while you are entering the number.
You can also cancel the entry by pressing the Esc key.




If there are no problems with the input, press the Enter key and check that it is actually reflected.


You can also enter various other sequential numbers.
Let's look at other patterns.

If you want to make the number of digits the same, enter a leading 0, such as "001."

When entering consecutive numbers with no spaces between them, such as "1", "4", and "7", separate the numbers with a comma.
Enter the starting number of the consecutive numbers before the separator, and the integer to be added after the separator.

Similarly, to subtract, specify a negative integer after the separator.

You can also enter consecutive letters of the alphabet.




If you enter the month (January to December) in English, you will get the following results.
Three-letter abbreviations are also supported.




If you enter the day of the week in English, you will get the following results.
Three-letter abbreviations are also supported.
