Screenshots were taken using Seti_UI color scheme

sublime-notes's Issues

Filenames and URL's does not get the correct color if there's a # behind it

Highlighting function stopped working.

Love this little program and have been using it a lot in graduate school. I've run into an issue, however, where #highlighting# function stopped working. I don't know nearly enough to be able to fix it, however. Help!

Spell Check Not working

"spell_check": true,
doesn't work in a .notes file, either in syntax specific or global setting.

also, since the seti_UI scheme has been updated greatly,
Is there a recommended color scheme to go with this package?

thanks

Edit: I realized in Syntax there's Notes & Notes - Text, the Text version can use spell check without problem. Still not sure why the regular version will always show 0 misspelled found.

Spell check doesn't work

I've been using this for a few months now and love it. I noticed that on both my Linux and Windows installations, whenever I'm using the Notes syntax, spell check doesn't work. It just comes back with 0 misspelled words.

I've never created a similar package for Sublime so am not sure of the cause. I just wanted to see if you were aware. If you are and don't have a fix, I'll see if I can do some investigation.

Have you developed something for VS Code or know something similar that can be used with VS Code?

Super+Enter continues to next list item e.g. 1,2,3 or a,b,c

Instead of having to type
a.)
b.)
c.)
have super+enter go to the next line and auto-fill it for you.

I have used plain notes package and it does this for lists by putting a list box on the next line (plain tasks also works like this). So maybe something similar could be done and just increment from the previous value of the list on this line.

Cant find this package on package control.

How do i install?

Add Some Color for Credentials

Hey First Off, thanks for a great tool, as a DevOp/WebDev I often have lots of notes that are not realated to code and then I'll put a snippet in and there is no way to color the snippets, You have solved my biggest issue with all code tools, so thank you very much.

Hey is there a way for you to add some color a format like this for common credentials data. For example,

==================================
MYSQL DATABASE DETAILS:
==================================
HOST = Enter_URL_Here
dbName = Enter_URL_Here
Uname = Enter_Username_Here
Pword = Enter_Password_Here

==================================
WORDPRESS DETAILS:
==================================
URL = Enter_URL_Here
Uname = Enter_Username_Here
Pword = Enter_Password_Here

    Additional User:  YES  NO
    Uname = Enter_Username_Here
    Pword = Enter_Username_Here

==================================
FTP DETAILS:
==================================
HOST = Enter_URL_Here
Uname = Enter_Username_Here
Pword = Enter_Password_Here

Using the FTP as an example, something similar to your blue headers with a ":" but when a equal sign is used have the leftside be blue and the right side of the "=" yellow or something.

Or is there a way I can change this? that would be awesome..

Again, this is awesome!
Thanks

I would suggest using only " for string highlighting

When you are writing notes in english its quite bothersome to have it highlighted every time you have ' twice in a sentence. I've been butchering my own grammar to work around this so far.

No Issue, just wanted to thank you!

I've been looking for something like this and your color scheme is perfect for my uses. Thank you so much for creating this plugin!

Same issue is filed over Markdown Extended package too

Simple way to bold

Is there a simple way to make text bold? If not, this is a feature request.

Thank you for the extension!

Cant end [/regex]

Hi when I want use [re] [regex] or [regexp] I cant this code close with [end] [/re] [/regex] [/regexp]. Can u help me? I think its bug. Can u look at this and help me fix it please? :-)

Request: Add rust support

Rust syntax highlighting would be nice

C# syntax highlighting doesn't close properly

Consider the following:

[csharp]
public void TestSomething()
{
Test(delegate { Debug.WriteLine("Test"); });
}
[end]

Here, the syntax highlighting does not stop at "[end]"

Yet in the case of:

[csharp]
namespace TestNamespace
{
class Program
{
public void TestSomething()
{
Test(delegate { Debug.WriteLine("Test"); });
}
}
}
[end]

The end block is caught correctly.

Request: Add checkboxes feature

In my note taking, I use a lot of checkboxes, and it would be nice if this existed in your package!

Github implements them as
- [x] Finish my changes

• Finish my changes

However, I usually write them as such
[X] remove unnecessary console logs

Either way, might be nice. Only issue I foresee is that you use square braces for language definitions, but 'X' and ' ' are not languages (yet!)

Copy my notes with syntax formatting into MS Outlook

Hi there, thank you for creating this wonderful package. I started to use it as my personal note taking apps. Can someone guide me how to copy paste with syntax formatting/ highlight of what I see/type in Sublime Text into MS Outlook?

Not really an issue: Is there any way to actually run the code inside a snippet?

Not really an issue: Is there any way to actually run the code inside a snippet directly from the .notes file?

This would be really interesting!! =)

A port to a VS Code extension

I've been using this plugin in sublime text every day for the past couple years. It would be awesome to have a compliant extension in VS Code as well. Has there been any interest/discussion around this?

Python code not closing

the [python] code is not closing. I tried [python][end], [python][python], [python][/python], [python][/end].

Nothing seems to work.

Snippet extra character

When generating a code snippet:

[ + TAB

I get an extra ] at the end of the snippet. I think it's cause of the initial ] that is added when I press [. This is probably an issue with my settings but is there a way to change it just for this snippet?

Sublime crashes when opening a .notes file

Hi,
this behavior appears since some dev builds and on the latest stable build.

Just opening a .notes file will crash Sublime, so there is no logging possible.

This is not the same issue as reported in #11, because it does not depend on any content.
Further, the file content isn't shown at all, you just see the loading bar and then Sublime will crash.

Small Typo in ReadMe

In Readme.md it should be "Usage" and not "Useage",

Highlighting issue with websites

URLs are not being highlighted

Error in console at start notes

When I start notes I take two errors in my console. Can u help me fixt it? Thank you for your time nad nice package.

Color Scheme

Hi,
i've tried to emulate your exact color scheme by installing Seti_UX or Seti_UIthemes.
I've tried all possible combinations and while parts of the colors are similar, there are parts of the notes syntax that are not highlighted at all.

Would you mind including or pointing to the exact theme you have used ?

Thanks

Lua tag doesn't close

Error at start with using note syntax.

Hello,
I have problem with sublime notes. I've downloaded fresh Sublimetext3 and notes. Now, when I want switch to notes, I have little freeze and these errors. I have ST3 portable build 3126x64 fresh instalation.

---

rule scope:source.clojure##anon_string_3 has a scope name, but is unreachable, so the name will never be used

rule scope:source.asp##anon_inside_block_2 has a scope name, but is unreachable, so the name will never be used

rule scope:source.scala#xml-comments has a scope name, but is unreachable, so the name will never be used

---

At my old full updated Sublimetext3 from build 3065x64 is everything ok.
Can you help me how to fix it? Thank you for your time.

Highlighting "#" and Arrows not Working

Thanks!

Color Scheme

Which colour theme was used for the provided screenshots? Please add this information to your readme.

Support for tags or labels would be great.

I like to be able to search documents quickly by subject, not just file name or contents. One way to handle this is to create folders and subfolders by subject, but it's just too time consuming to do that. Evernote lets you tag the various notes, and then you can search by tag.

So I wrote a little script to help with it

#! /bin/bash

#
# This script searches $NOTES_DIRECTORY for .txt or .notes files
# and moves them to subfolders for the year and month YYYY/MM when
# they were last modified.
#
# also it greps all note files tag like '#tags:t1,t2,...' and 
# writes the unique tags to a file named tags.

set -euo pipefail  # exit on any unexpected failure

NOTES_DIRECTORY=${NOTE_DIRECTORY-$HOME/WorkDocs/Notes}
SUFFIX=notes
THIS_MONTH=$(date +%Y-%m)

cd $NOTES_DIRECTORY


# Move all .txt files to .$SUFFIX
for each in *.txt
do
    new_file_name=$(echo $each | 
        sed -e "s/\.txt\$/.$SUFFIX/g" -e 's/ /-/g' )

    [ -f "$each" ] || continue
    echo "renaming $each  --> $new_file_name"
    mv "$each" "$new_file_name"
done


for each in *.$SUFFIX
do
    date=$(date -r "$each" +%Y-%m );
    _DATES+=($date);
    FILES+=($each);
done

DATES=$(printf "%s\n" "${_DATES[@]}" | sort -u);
for date in ${DATES[@]}; do
    [ $date == $THIS_MONTH ] && continue
    if [ ! -d "$date" ]; then
        mkdir "$date"
    fi
done

for i in  ${FILES[@]}; do
  dest=$(date -r "$i" +%Y-%m)
  [ $dest == $THIS_MONTH ] && continue
  mv $i $dest/$i
done

# write tags report
echo "# This file is an auto-generated list of all tags" > tags
echo "# found in .notes files" >> tags
echo "# " >> tags
echo "# tags:" >> tags
find . -name '*.notes' | 
    xargs cat | 
    egrep '^tags:' | 
    sed -e 's/^tags://' | 
    tr ',' '\012'  | 
    sort -u >> tags

Hotkey for block title?

I didn't see an explanation for how to easily create block titles.

Request

Hi and thanks for a nice plugin.

Is there a way to convert a .notes file to markdown, so later and I can use pandoc to convert to pdf? If not, this would be a great feature, imho.

Sublime is really slow with files with notes syntax since the latest update of Sublime

Sublime is really slow with files with notes syntax since the latest update of Sublime. After changing to an other syntax it's fast again. Especially on large files.

Tested on multiple machines with Windows 10 and Windows 7.

Notes: 1.0.3
Sublime Build 3114

Issue with Korean text.

When adding * some Korean text * it will not longer highlight the text anymore. If I can help out at all with this let me know!

Bash comments are wrong highlighted

Bash code snippets do not recognise # as a comment (with any of the colour schemes).

The issue was raised previously here before but the solution reply is not really clear - maybe it should be added as a note to the README.

What's wrong with the markdown syntax?

We already have markdown for this purpose, why create another language?

sublime crashes when editing .notes files

When I enter words with German Umlauts, e.g. the word "hätte" in a .notes file the editor crashes without further notice.
That is on OS X 10.10.5 and Sublime Build 3099
