Support for calendar.txt format

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• [x] This is a enhancement/feature request. Not a bug or question.
• [x] The topic is not already reported at Issues. (I've searched it).
• [x] Markor is up to date. See Releases for the latest version. Updates are available from F-Droid and GitHub.
• [x] The wanted feature/enhancement is not present in the latest development version (git master). (Please download and try the test version of Markor, named Marder. Don't worry; Markor and Marder appear as completely separate applications. You can install both side-by-side, and Markor's settings are not touched. If your desired feature is present, you don't need to open this issue. The change will be part of the next Markor update.)

Description

I wondered if Markor could support the calendar.txt formar which is philosophically well aligned with todo.txt

https://terokarvinen.com/2021/calendar-txt/

The principle would be really simple : when opening a file named "calendar.txt", Markor would automatically jump to the line starting with today’s date.

Fancy stuff like coloring date/hours might be added later but, IMHO, are absolutely not needed. The only requirement to use a calendar.txt file is to jump to current date by default.

I describe here how and why I use it : https://ploum.net/2025-09-03-calendar-txt.html

Hello,

Yes, addition of new formats is welcome.

[ploum]

I’m looking at the code but don’t find any existing format which move the cursor on launch.

Any advice on how you would do it?

[gsantner]

There are methods by Markor to set cursor position. Also TextView/EditText have methods to do that. If you search the code by cursor, I'm very sure you will be able to find something suitable.
