autocompletes in atom

22:06 Saturday 04 May 2019 JST

Fantastic! Atom has a pretty easy way to auto-complete my custom strings in markdown format. I now can type cs and it will offer to autocomplete 'Caret Splitter' as Caret Splitter

Here is the first draft of snippets.cson, before expanding the URLs to their full selves (and save a redirect with each click).

how to find last slash on line while recording macro in atom

21:44 Saturday 04 May 2019 JST

In my workflow, I end up with image URLs like this

https://b.robnugen.com/art/marble_track_3/track/parts/2019/2019_may_03_caret_splitter_rudder_planner_3.jpg

and I want to convert them to markdown with thumbnail like this:

[![2019 may 03 caret splitter rudder planner 3](//b.robnugen.com/art/marble_track_3/track/parts/2019/thumbs/2019_may_03_caret_splitter_rudder_planner_3.jpg)](//b.robnugen.com/art/marble_track_3/track/parts/2019/2019_may_03_caret_splitter_rudder_planner_3.jpg)

(N.B. the title came from the image filename, and thumbs/ has been inserted into the thumbnail's URL)

With Emacs, I can do it with a custom keyboard macro, which starts by moving point to the end of the image URL then I-search backward to find the last / in the URL. Then I can easily extract the name of the image from which I can get the title of the image.

I installed atom-keyboard-macros, but it fails when I try to find previous with ⌘-⇧-G.

Perhaps there is a whole different atom.io way to go about converting the image URL into a markdown-friendly string. Do you know of one?
