Coda Plugin – v090108
January 8th, 2009
I started to play around with Coda’s Plugin builder. Instantly I came up with two plugins. Already they save me a lot of time. Especially when dealing with material submitted via DOC or XLS.
Link
This will take the selected text and return it as an A tag. For example,
http://www.linktohere.com
will be changed to
<a href="http://www.linktohere.com">http://www.linktohere.com</a>
MailTo
This is very similar to Link above, but makes a mail tag.
example@test.com
becomes
<a href="mailto:example@test.com">example@test.com</a>

WebVeteran’s Coda Plugin:
WVCPs.codaplugin.zip
Nothing too fancy. Only a step higher than using the Clips window. But they may save you time as well. Just download the zip, extract it, double-click, enjoy.

Nice, a fellow Coda + ColdFusion user
Yep! I just learned that Coda has their own page for people writing plugins.

I mailed them, maybe they’ll post it!
Thanks for developing this plugin. I added a keyboard shortcut (as documented here: http://www.handpickedsoftware.com/tiger-tip-creating-custom-keyboard-shortcuts) to speed things up so I don’t have to use my mouse.

Good idea! I use custom shortcuts as well, but sparingly because there is just too much to remember. I have F5 = ‘Reload’ in Safari.
