Title: Abbreviations not working in project notes
Post by: ahagele on February 09, 2016, 01:47:35 am

Is there a way to get the abbreviations to work in the Project Notes window. I would like to add a date/time stamp with the entries I put in there (mainly todo list) but the 'today' Crtl-J does not work here.
Any workaround available (apart from actually typing the date and time)?

Hi,
this would be a cool idea...
I have looked into it, but there is no api to the plugin interface, to implement this straight forward... I gave some ideas regarding this issue, but at the moment no time to work on this...

For the moment your best choose would be to use a note.txt in your project...

You can open a feature request on sf, so it won't get lost here...

greetings

You know what:
i have made a patch. It does not use the abbreviation plugin, but the macro replacement. So you can enter one of this macros: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Variable_expansion press ctrl+j and it will replace all macros in the control with the appropriate values...

This will probably get lost here, but it was easy and fast to implement...

greetings
