Trying it out got me to thinking that it would be handy to be able to log
quick little notes. The following script writes the cursor line on the
body to a note log file, whose path can optionally be specified in a
setting. The idea is that you could write a brief one-line note and pop it
right into the log file with a time stamp -
"""Write cursor line to a log file."""
from pathlib import Path
import time
LOG = c.config.getString('notelog') or '~/.leo/temp/notelog.txt'
ACTUALPATH = Path(LOG).expanduser()
w = c.frame.body.wrapper
j = w.getInsertPoint()
s = c.p.b
beg, end = g.getLine(s, j)
line = s[beg:end]
if line:
now = time.time()
localtime = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M", time.localtime(now))
with open(ACTUALPATH, 'a', encoding = 'utf-8') as f:
f.write(f'{localtime}\t{line}\n')
You could do the same thing by keeping a text editor window with the log
file open all the time, but if you are working with Leo anyway this would
be more convenient.
