single key to increment the number in emacs
 

What is the procedure to increment the number under the cursor ?

12

Which key i have to press to make this 12 to become 13.

I know the method of keeping the number in register and incrementing, http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ma...egNumbers.html .

But am looking for a single key to increment the number under cursor. Can anybody help me ?

I'm afraid you'll have to develop your own lisp foo, and
magically bind it to a single key; there's no such built-in
function in Emacs ...

The page http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IncrementNumber currently contains two functions that can do what you want.

Copy one of the functions and the key definition to your emacs init file (usually ~/.emacs).
