Alan Priest 1 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi, I migrated to Evernote from Info Select which I used for many years. Evernote is brilliant, far better than Info Select but one feature it lacks is the ability to auto-enter the date or time in a note whilst typing. I used to type [Esc]+D for date and [Esc]+T for time. There were other shortcuts but these were the ones I used most often. Also, if I put two asterisks in front of a date Info Select would automatically create a reminder on that date. Any chance of implementing this type of auto-entry? Only a small thing but it helps productivity. Thanks. Link to comment

Wordsgood 526 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yet another trick I did not know. Thanks JB! When I am typing a note in Windows Evernote, I hit the key combination Ctrl and ; to insert the date and time. 2014-03-28 12:58 PM Link to comment
Level 5* s2sailor 1,533 Posted March 28, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted March 28, 2014 I usually want only the date and not the time so as an alternative I use Windows texter instead to generate a date only macro. It is more lightweight than AutoHotkey and good enough for my needs. Link to comment
spg SCOTT 736 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Alt + Shift + D should work in Evernote as well, as an alternative hotkey. I usually want only the date and not the time so as an alternative I use Windows texter instead to generate a date only macro. It is more lightweight than AutoHotkey and good enough for my needs. Texter as in this? http://lifehacker.com/238306/lifehacker-code-texter-windows That is written in AHK, I believe It has quite a few features. I remember using it at one point, but don't remember why I stopped. For just the date, I have a few lines in my always running AHK script: (It may well be possible to shrink that even further too ) ::ddate::; FormatTime, Current_Time, ,dd MMMM yyyy hh:mm ttFormatTime, Current_Time, ,dd/MM/yyyySend, %Current_Time%return Link to comment
