How To Insert Incrementing Numbers with words by Multicursor in jetbrains IDE(IntelliJ IDEA)?

Question

I want to add Incrementing Numbers with words by Multicursor in jetbrains IDE(IntelliJ IDEA) .

Is there any way to do it by Live template? I want to do things like this image :

There is no such feature in IntelliJ IDEA out of the box that could do something like that. — yole, Dec 14 '16 at 09:18
@yole How about making that an answer? Even if "not possible" is probably not the answer the OP hoped for ;-) (BTW I would find that feature useful myself, every now and then.) — eekboom, Dec 14 '16 at 12:32

You could use String Manipulation plugin to do that (Increment/Decrement | Increment duplicates or Create sequence).

Tried it ... But (7.2.182.000.3 June18, 2019) does not work in Clion 2019.2 ![Failing ScreenshotL](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aY8zZlXIWj0_SSCSbINhsrSFp84DnwlG). – Andrew Ward Oct 24 '19 at 16:51

Thanks! For me, on latest IntelliJ it is Highlight with shift + home, right click, "string manipulation", "Create sequence". – Elijah Lynn May 19 '21 at 15:32

The plugin is not working on my WebStorm, there could be another way using unix command line:

seq 1 10 | xargs printf 'string%d\n'

String Manipulation plugin? Then report a bug. – Meo Jun 08 '18 at 11:09
good for being faster for the 1-time case, plus it's useful when using another ide. – junvar Aug 30 '18 at 16:01

You can actually do that without plugins.

I select the original numbers by:

selecting the rate word
ctrl+G (for multi line selection)
place the cursor right before the e and the first number (just press right arrow)
shift+option+ > (right arrow). That moves to the end of the word while selecting

other option is multicursor with shift+option+cmd+paint selection (macos)

Same in the target.

That's just copypasting. – Meo Apr 20 '22 at 12:48
And it would only go so far as you copied. Meaning can't automatically work despite number of selections. – Kemo Sabe Mar 03 '23 at 13:10
