Implementation of Quoter-Plugin

[dase78]

Feature request:

Could you please implement the Quoter-Plugin by default, perhaps with an option like "quoter true/false"?

This would be great, I find it a very useful plugin, it's right out of way and works exactly as you would expect it to do.

(But whenever I installed it (micro -plugin install quoter) the plugin breaks my $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME/settings.json. After installing it, whenever I want to edit the settings.json directly micro says: The file on disk has changed, reload? No answer changes anything.)

I use the actual Micro-Version, installed by downloading the .deb and then apt install directly.

This problem is not just with quoter but with any plugin that registers its own options. (For instance quoter registers quoter.enable option.) Actually it doesn't modify the contents of settings.json, it just needlessly rewrites it with the same contents every time.

I've created an issue for it: #2647

Thanks for the explaining, so should I just ignore it (I have removed the quoter)? It made me a little nervous to always read this...

[dmaluka]

Probably yes, it's safe to just ignore it. But it's definitely worth fixing in micro, I believe.

[dase78]

Yes, definitely. I just cannot ignore things like this... ;)

[dase78]

I found a temporary solution for me, by commenting out
-- config.RegisterCommonOption("quoter", "enable", true)
the settings.json is not rewritten.
The setting in the quoter plugin did not change anything anyways (at least in my case).

#3009 fixes it.

Great! Thanks!!

This is fixed in 2.0.14 and should be closed.
