Description

Hello,

I caught this article (http://www.tecmint.com/micro-linuxtext-editor-with-syntax-highlighting/) last week.
So far it's been great — except for the missing time-stamp feature. I can usually find Nano/ed/vi on most systems I visit, but a portable Micro with a time-stamping feature would save a lot of time/keystrokes. A built-in Emacs-like time-stamp feature would be awesome.

By Emacs-like I mean shortcuts for punching-in and punching-out; punch-out would also calculate the time elapsed since the last punch-in and concatenate the elapsed time total onto the punch-out timestamp.

Again, great portable app.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by turning the requested Emacs-like punch-in and punch-out behavior into precise requirements, including elapsed-time accumulation and portable shortcut behavior. Done means both timestamp actions work consistently and are covered by tests.
