Ooh, vim actually makes a way better manpager than whatever else usually shows the man stuff, it even works with links and everything :D so ctrl+] and it also rewrites the q shortcut to just quit, it's really nice.

```
export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!'
```

TIL about `<C-a>` and `<C-x>` in #vim for adding or subtracting.
(`:h ctrl-a` , `:h ctrl-x` )

Ctrl-a will add [count] to a number or alphabetic character at or after the cursor.
And Ctrl-x will do subtraction in the same way.

For example let's say I need to increment this 1 to be a 2.

```
replicas: 1
```

Normally I would type `f1` followed by `r2`
Or maybe even just `A` <backspace> `2`

But we can do better.

In this particular scenario I need only be on that line and do `<C-a>`
Since `<C-a>` will look ahead to find a digit on the current line and act upon it. Which means we can do this from the start of the line and it will turn into:

```
replicas: 2
```

And if I want to change it back to `1` I can use `<C-x>`

These two commands will even take a `[count]`. This means that if the current value is `replicas: 1` we can do `10<C-a>` and it will now say `replicas: 11`
