Hotkeys/keyboard macros??

(1/4) > >>

jpar5:
I'd like to insert (paste) the current date and time as easily as possible, because I want to do it often.  Right now, the only way I see to do this is by hitting "Ctrl + Alt + Q" to bring up the quick paste menu, then hitting "R" for date and time text clips, and then hitting the number of the clip I want to paste.  Is there an easier way, like assigning this to a key or key combo that isn't currently used on my system?  Thanks.

I think a dedicated program for that might be better...
I could whip up something in ahk really fast.
What's the date format you'd like to use and the key combo?

BigJim:
How about simply using the system date/time format?

BTW: Texter found over at the Lifehacker site can easily be used for this ... and LOTS more.

tomos:
that's funny
I was just thinking this morning of posting a similar request for CH&S

But of course AHK would be just as good
Just looking at Texter there
That's actually made using AHK

just seems to have these options for numerical dates
# %ds: Short date, which will return the date in the following format: 3/9/2007

which isn't much good for us europeans ;) [edit] actually it's unclear which is the month there...[/edit]

Do you have it installed BigJim?
Could you see if that's modifiable?

had a quick look, not easily I think

that's tempting too :D
I'm running out of hotkeys though

how about
2008-02-14 16:00:56
is that
yyyy-MM-dd etc :-[ ?!
and a hotkey:-
Alt+D

is it easy to modify/personalise in ahk - the dates I mean especially?
