Intellij column increase number 2018-12-28 07:38

When I defined thrift file I need to create a column of numbers. The file looks something like this.

struct ContentItem {
    1: string id;
    2: string balabala;
    3: string balabala1;
    4: string balabala2
    5: string balabala3
    6: string balabala4
    7: string balabala5
    8: string balabala6
    9: string balabala7
    10: string balabala8
}

It is boring to write the increase number one by one. I use String Manipulation plugin. I assume you have installed this plugin in your environment.

  1. use alt and left mouse button to input a column with the number which you want to start(Let's say 1), you will get the result like following.
struct ContentItem {
    1: string id;
    1: string balabala;
    1: string balabala1;
    1: string balabala2
    1: string balabala3
    1: string balabala4
    1: string balabala5
    1: string balabala6
    1: string balabala7
    1: string balabala8
}
  1. use alt and left mouse button to select this column.
  2. press ctrl+shift+a and search Create sequence then press enter
  3. now you get an increase column.
