Add timestamp to sublime snippet.

sublime-snippet-timestamp

Plugin to add timestamp to sublime snippet.

TADA

Instruction

• Copy all file to Packages/User directory of sublime text.
• Configure sublime-snippet file as you want ( cpp_template.sublime-snippet for c++ and py_template.sublime-snippet for python)
• Now you can create a simple snippet and the date will be updated every time you press command + s. command + s still has the function to save files.

Explaination

• Because snippet doesnot support dynamic variable, I use static variable DATE define in Default.tmPreferences and update this variable when we want to create snippet.

• I use a plugin (command) updatetm to update DATE in Default.tmPreferences.

• I want the date and time to be updated automatically or at least passive. So I added a function that called updatetm command for keystrockes command + s. To do this, I use another plugin is chain.py to call multiple command on a keymap (both updatetm command and the default command (save). Keymap defined in Default (OSX).sublime-snippet file.
