Add and Subtract

Move your cursor over a number in Vim. In normal mode, press ctrl-a to increment it's value by one. Press ctrl-x to decrement it's value. Believe it or not, this actually comes in handy pretty often.

But how do you sum a whole column of numbers?

A different tip, but it's possible.

OCT, HEX and DEC formats are supported... no luck if you are trying ctrl+a on a binary number.
