Macros

Jice

Hi,
I just discover Zettlr.
I have my own way of doing things like this with vim but it's far more muddled. Zettlr seems to be very interesting and develops clean concepts :-)

Would it be possible to implement some way to have macros ? Or simply to execute external commands or scripts to process files ?
One could create some yaml file (or anything else) defining a command name, a path to a script and the parameters to send (with some predefined and some initialized from the command line) ?
For example, in vim mode, in the command line, launching a shortcut to a python script with some predefined parameters (file ? path ? project root ? anything else ?)

Thanks for this

There's something called snippets: https://docs.zettlr.com/en/core/snippets/#, which are a templating system. As for programmatically controlling things outside the zettlr app (like in your example), I don't think that is possible. If you want a programmable text editor, you could look at sublime

Thank you.
In a way, i already have my programmable text editor (vim/neovim). I just found zettlr very interesting as it organises notes as i try to do myself but in a much more solid way. So i asked because this is something i do very much : processing files with macros or external programs. My editor is not only for notes but also for programming or processing data files
