# Archive Nested Lines - The world's simplest productivity tool

Do you like using simple plain text files for your notes and todos? How about adding a quick command to your text editor to stash finished todos and notes to an archive?

This is a plugin for Sublime Text that archives text lines to the bottom of the file, while preserving nested headings and sublists.

No process, no tools and no special syntax, just one single searchable plain text file. The top part has text lines that are currently relevant, and the bottom part is an archive for reference.

## Installation

Install with [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io/):

1. Open the Command Palette (`Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS, `Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows/Linux)
2. Run `Package Control: Install Package`
3. Select `Archive Nested Lines`

## Usage

Place the cursor on a line (or select several lines) and run `Archive Nested Lines` from the Command Palette.

The line is moved to the bottom of the file together with its parent lines (the lines above it with less indentation). If the parents are already archived, the line is placed under the existing archived parents.

Add some empty lines between the archived ones and the rest, so it is easy to see what is what

## Key binding

No key binding is set by default. To add one, open `Preferences > Key Bindings` and add for example:

```json
[
    { "keys": ["super+y"], "command": "archive_nested_lines" }
]
```

Use `ctrl+y` instead of `super+y` on Windows/Linux, or any other key combination you prefer.
