My fingers seem to remember that I increment even without
selecting first - just position the cursor over the text and
press "i".  That is not working now.  I get an error 'key "i" is
not bound to a macro'.  Having said that, I don't specifically
remember that it worked that way, but I seem to have a motor
memory using it. *weak smile*

Is that regex accessible from the Tcl console?  While not as
convenient as a single key press it could work.
