I'm trying to be able to have a keyboard shortcut that creates a new file with the datetime as the prefix and some additional text that I enter.
I know there is a shortcut for generating a new file and I've seen snippets and extensions used to insert datetime into the editor but those extensions don't seem to work in the new filename dialog box.
Thanks!
Try this. I'm using the bash shell so you may have to modify the shell commands for your shell.
In tasks.json:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "newFile",
"command": "touch `date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`-${input:fileName}.txt",
// to create and open this new file use the following instead
// "command": "touch `date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`-${input:fileName}.txt; code . `date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`-${input:fileName}.txt",
"type": "shell",
"problemMatcher": [],
"presentation": {
"echo": false,
"reveal": "silent",
"focus": false,
"panel": "shared",
"showReuseMessage": false,
"clear": true
},
"promptOnClose": false
}
],
"inputs": [
{
"type": "promptString",
"id": "fileName",
"description": "Complete my file name.",
"default": "new file name" // make your default text here
}
]
}
I used the bash commands touch
and date
, if you are using a non-unix type shell you'll have to modify that for your similar create a file and add timestamp commands. And the file extension too (you could make that another promptString if you wish) - here jus hard-coded as .txt
.
The task will create a new file with the timestamp as formatted followed by a pause for you to add the extra text you wanted to add. See task inputs .
The task could be run from the command palette Run task
command or set a keybinding to run the task like this (in keybindings.json):
{
"key": "alt+r", // whatever keybinding you want
"command": "workbench.action.tasks.runTask",
"args": "newFile"
}
也许espanso文本扩展器可以提供一些帮助。
For Mac users, I have this line in my alias which copies the date into your clipboard. You can also add this to your Alfred scripts.
alias today='date '+%m-%d-%Y' | pbcopy'
