(Archived) Request: Date & Time Stamp

[grivp 2]

It would be useful to be able to insert a date or time stamp in my notes (or in the title bar) with a right click or button. That way I could keep a running log of when in a day I added items.

Which client are you using? This is available on windows and OS X already I believe.

[grivp 2]

Basically all of them. Can you help me out? I'm not seeing that as an option, but I may have missed it.

[jbenson2 2,149]

In Windows, just type Ctrl + ;

Thank you, now I feel foolish. Is there a similar thing for Mac?

From the Evernote Knowledge Base article (http://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#/article/23168552):

⌘ ⇧ D - Insert Date at Cursor
⌘ ⇧ ⌥ D - Insert Time at Cursor

Thanks again everyone. I'd still like to see a button for this, to make it work for the mobile versions.

Are there similar shortcuts for Linux ?

Are there similar shortcuts for Linux ?

Yes. Xdotool can do this for you and it will work in all applications, not just Evernote.

Xdotool is probably available in your distro's package manager.

Once installed, create a script with this content:

xdotool type $(date +"%H:%M")

Example:

nano /usr/bin/timestamp

Make it executable

chmod +x /usr/bin/timestamp

Run timestamp from a keyboard shortcut or from your desktops command launcher (Alt+F2 in KDE)

Output: 12:06

If you want the date as well, something like this:

xdotool type $(date +"%m/%d/%Y-%H:%M")

Output: 12/02/2012-12:06

Is there a shortcut to add date/time via the Evernote web interface? Does it vary by browser?

Thanks Heather, but Mozilla cannot be installed on the iPad - Chrome or Safari have anything similar?
