ChronoDeck

ChronoDeck is a VS Code extension designed for logging, converting, and managing date/time stamps. It allows developers to easily record the current time or manually input dates, automatically converting them to Unix Timestamps and displaying them across multiple timezones directly from the sidebar.

Features

• Easy Time Logging: Add current time or specific dates to your history with a single click.
• Unix Timestamp Conversion: Automatically converts entries to Unix Timestamp, ready for copying.
• Timezone Support: Simultaneously display times in multiple configured timezones (e.g., UTC, JST).
• Memo Function: Leave notes on each history card for tasks or logs.
• Modern UI: A clean, user-friendly design that integrates seamlessly with VS Code themes.
• Multi-language: Supports English and Japanese (Auto-detect).
• Strict Input Mode: Enforces valid formatting and blocks invalid characters real-time.

Usage

1. Open Extension: Click the ChronoDeck icon in the Activity Bar to open the view.
2. Add Entry:
   • Enter a Date (YYYY/MM/DD) and Time (HH:mm:ss) in the top input bar.
   • Input Rules:
     • Non-numeric input is strictly blocked (except valid separators).
     • Press Enter to format the value and move focus. (Enter does NOT submit).
     • Full-width numbers are automatically converted to half-width on blur.
   • Click the + button to add it to the list.

3. Manage History:
   • Expand/Collapse: Click on a card header to toggle detailed views. The state is guaranteed to sync.
   • Edit: Click the pencil icon to modify the date/time. Editor implements strict validation.
   • Delete: Click the trash can icon to remove an entry.
   • Copy: Use the copy button next to any value (Timestamp, ISO Date, etc.) to copy it to the clipboard.
   • Memo: Type notes in the text area at the bottom of the card. The area is height-protected and will not collapse.
