Memo feature discards input sometimes
Closed this issue · 4 comments
First, I'm so thrilled to have found your extension! I've been dreaming about something like this for a long time. Plain text rules. 😊
Unfortunately, I soon discovered that the Ctrl+Shift+J type-to-add-a-memo feature doesn't always work. There's a random chance that it will discard what I type and do nothing. For example, in this GIF it only was successful on attempts 3, 4, and 6 (of 7 total):
I am using a custom memo template (timestamped as I plan to use it for interstitial journaling):
"journal.tpl-memo": "${d:HHmm} ${input}",
"journal.tpl-memo-after": "## Process",Closing and reopening VS Code didn't help. Neither did disabling auto-save. It doesn't seem to matter whether the file being added to was previously open or not. Nothing shows up in the logs. I only have a few other extensions enabled: Remote SSH, Settings Sync, Sublime Text Keymap, and a few language-support extensions.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to test!
I will look into it. I already have a new version ready, which I am testing right now.
Ok, this is a bit stupid. In my parsing rules I decided that a memo string has to be longer then 6 characters, in your example you see that everything below is ignored.
I check if I can remove this rule without interfering with other functions
I have added the current prerelease to this project, can you please download it from here and test it?
To test, use the option "Install from VSIX..." in the Extension View of Visual Studio Code.
