Micro: Feature Request: Add built-in Timestamping

Created on 19 Apr 2017  Â·  4Comments  Â·  Source: zyedidia/micro

Hello,

I caught this article (http://www.tecmint.com/micro-linuxtext-editor-with-syntax-highlighting/) last week.
So far it's been great — except for the missing time-stamp feature. I can usually find Nano/ed/vi on most systems I visit, but a portable Micro with a time-stamping feature would save a lot of time/keystrokes. A _built-in_ Emacs-like time-stamp feature would be awesome.

By Emacs-like I mean shortcuts for punching-in and punching-out; punch-out would also calculate the time elapsed since the last punch-in and concatenate the elapsed time total onto the punch-out timestamp.

Again, great portable app.

This would probably be very easy to do in a lua plugin, I'll try something later today.

@onodera-punpun any update on that?

@Rbagman @ibrokemypie So like, you just want a feature to append a timestamp to the filename on save, like rob.txt to rob-2017-04-17.txt right? I could probably knock that out in an evening if that's all you want (with custom timestamp formatting even), but I feel like something more complicated is being asked for.

Is this http://orgmode.org/manual/Clocking-work-time.html what's being asked for? Just randomly guessed what it is that's actually wanted.
