Renumber Selection

Simply renumbers lines in the selection. Finds the first number in each line and replaces it with a new number starting from 1.

Examples:

Configuration

renumber-selection.startValue can be used to start from a different number.

renumber-selection.increment can be used to change the increment.

renumber-selection.regex can be used to adjust the pattern for matching lines with numbers.

Note: The regex must contain at least two capture groups. The first should match everything before the 'number' and the second should match the 'number' itself, or watch you want to replace with the incrementing counter. The default regex preserves decimal parts of the number.

renumber-selection.highlightChanges can be set to false to disable highlighting the replaced numbers

renumber-selection.highlightDark can be used to change the highlight (for dark themes)

renumber-selection.highlightLight can be used to change the highlight (for light themes)

renumber-selection.highlightRulerColour can be used to change the colour of the ruler indications

renumber-selection.highlightRulerLane can be used to change the ruler lane

Note: The highlight uses CSS outlines. So valid values should include a style (e.g. dashed, dotted, etc. ), a width (e.g. 1px) and a colour. E.g. "solid 2px red"

Ignoring comments

If you have commented lines which would normally match the regex, you can ignoring them by modifying the regex to include the comment character. For example, to ignore commented lines in markdown, change the regex to: "^([^#]*?)(\\d+)(\\.\\d+)?"
