  I could make my day book or just mark any entry with the date when the entry was made, but I need a very quick and easy way to insert the current time date like Ctrl+D.
  SipleNote – please consider this simple but important feature.

  Thanks for sharing your idea on how we could improve Simplenote. We’ve heard a few other requests like this before and I’ve added your thoughts to the discussion on it.

  Thank you for listening to your users.
  Windows allows me to use Ctrl+D here and there, while Google @today, but Ctrl+D seems to be more convenient.

  You’re most welcome, @taksometri! The more Simplenote users request this feature, the higher the chances it gets built by the developers.

  This is a great suggestion but in the mean time this may work for you.

  I use AutoHotkey with a script to insert a formatted date/time string anywhere in a text field — this works perfectly for me in SimpleNote.

  Here is the script that I use — it is triggered by pressing F9, but you can setup any key combination to trigger it. Just place your cursor where you want to insert the date stamp then press F9.

  F9::
  FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, MM/d/yyyy HH:mm
  SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
  return

  The output looks like this: 05/20/2024 09:22

  Hope this helps!
