• the minimal number of how many times an enumeration should be inserted
• a comma seperated alternativ list of enumerations

Insert As Column

The command inserts each line in the clipboard with a prefix and postfix. The prefix and postfix is the text of the cursors line before and after the cursor. If there are multiple cursors in a line the cliboard line will be inserted for each cursor.

Move Selection To New File

Vertical Limit provides a command to move the selected text into a new unsaved file. For unsaved files Vertical Limit provides a command to cut all content into the clipboard and close the file. This can be used to undo the Move Selection to new File into new File command.

Glossary

Block

A Block consists of line up text lines with the same indentation. Empty lines are consideres as indented by -1 so that they seperate unindented lines.

Move To Begin / End Of Block

The begin of a block is the first position inside the block. If the cursor is already there it moves instead to begin of the first block with the same indentation inside the very next outer block. If the cursor is already there it moves instead to begin of the very next outer block.
