Is there a macro for live templates to get only the first to letters from my username?

Hello Martin,

There's no such built-in macro, but you can create one via a custom ReSharper
plug-in. For an example, see LiveTemplateMacro Power Toy at http://resharperpowertoys.codeplex.com/.
Thank you!

I want to create a live template which inserts a todo-comment.

The line should look like
//! \todo MD20110428: Here my todo-text
MD are the first two letters of my username and after that comes the
current date.

Till now I wrote MD directly into the template which is OK if I'm the
only one who uses it but now a colleague wants to use it either.

Is there a possibility to use substring as a macro in live templates?
