timelining

timelining is a VS Code extension for .timeline files.

Features

When you type at the start of a line in a timeline document, the extension associates that line with a timestamp. The timestamp is shown in the editor as a non-editable decoration, so it is not part of the actual text buffer and cannot be selected or modified like normal characters.

Copying from a timeline document with Ctrl+Shift+C includes the timestamp in the copied text. The text on the line is copied together with its date prefix, so pasting elsewhere preserves the timeline format.

Pasting image files into a timeline document saves the image next to the file and inserts a Markdown image link.

Usage

1. Create or open a file with the .timeline extension.
2. Type content on a new line.
3. The timestamp appears automatically at the beginning of that line.
4. Use Ctrl+Shift+C to copy the line with its timestamp.

Notes

This extension does not currently expose custom settings.
