Alphanumeric Markdown Footnote

A Sublime Text 3 plugin.

When a shortcut is pressed, inserts footnotes where the cursor is.

If the cursor is inside a footnote, you can hit a different shortcut to go back to where the footnote marker is in the document.

Similar to MarkdownFootnotes, having these shared features:

• Adds a footnote label to the cursor position and a corresponding footnote entry to the bottom of the file.
• Automatically handles footnote numbers, keeping them consecutive, like Microsoft Word.
• Automatically places cursor in the footnote entry so you can just start typing away at your note.

It differs from MarkdownFootnotes by:

• handling non-integer footnote ids
• ignoring your currently selected text when creating the footnote
• not bothering to validate all of your footnotes
• when footnote ids end with a number, use that prefix for the new footnote, but adjust all the numbers to line up
• having a "go back to the footnote marker" shortcut
• less code
• tests

Example

This is a test paragraph

And here is another[^chapter1-1]

[^chapter1-1]: Totally a footnote

With the cursor at the end of the first line, hitting the shortcut produces this:

This is a test paragraph[^chapter1-1]

And here is another[^chapter1-2]

[^chapter1-1]: 

[^chapter1-2]: Totally a footnote

with the cursor on the footnote line immediately after [^chapter1-1]: .
