Thank you! Just converted it to Emacs Lisp:
(defun new-note ()
(interactive)
(insert "----------------\n")
(insert (shell-command-to-string "echo -n $(date \"+%Y-%m-%d %T\")"))
(insert "\n"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-n") #'new-note)
And to invoke it from the shell:
emacs --function new-note --file notes.txt
If somebody knows a better or more elegant way to do this, please tell me!
- ossusermivami 4y agoi guess with yasnippet something like this, but may need a more to open your note file and expand the snippet (with yas-expand) at the top of the file. # -*- mode: snippet -*- # name: note # key: note # -- ---------------- `(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %T")` $1
- kabdib 4y agoThe +999999 bit in my own script automatically goes to the end of the file. There's probably a cleaner way, but that works fine. I'm not sure if your setup does that. It's the minor creature comforts that really matter sometimes.
- fm2606 4y agoThanks for this! I had to set keybinding to C-c C-n because I got unmatched parentheses error with C-M-n. I've been slowly moving to emacs since this summer and got to where I like it better than Vim. I was "forced" to learn it as I am learning Lisp (started with Clojure but moved to Common Lisp).
