Alphanumeric Markdown Footnote

by TehShrike ALL

A Sublime Text plugin that inserts footnotes into your markdown for you

Details

A Sublime Text 3 plugin.

When a shortcut is pressed, inserts footnotes where the cursor is.

If the cursor is inside a footnote, you can hit a different shortcut to go back to where the footnote marker is in the document.

Similar to MarkdownFootnotes, having these shared features:

Adds a footnote label to the cursor position and a corresponding footnote entry to the bottom of the file.
Automatically handles footnote numbers, keeping them consecutive, like Microsoft Word.
Automatically places cursor in the footnote entry so you can just start typing away at your note.

It differs from MarkdownFootnotes by:

handling non-integer footnote ids
ignoring your currently selected text when creating the footnote
not bothering to validate all of your footnotes
when footnote ids end with a number, use that prefix for the new footnote, but adjust all the numbers to line up
having a “go back to the footnote marker” shortcut
less code
tests

This is a test paragraph

And here is another[^chapter1-1]

[^chapter1-1]: Totally a footnote

With the cursor at the end of the first line, hitting the shortcut produces this:

This is a test paragraph[^chapter1-1]

And here is another[^chapter1-2]

[^chapter1-1]: 

[^chapter1-2]: Totally a footnote

with the cursor on the footnote line immediately after [^chapter1-1]:.
