Feature request: timestamp individual lines in a note

[jonat 1]

I would like to use Evernote to take minutes at a meeting, with the date and time of each new line automatically recorded ("new line" starts when I press Enter). I've searched the KB and this forum and have not found a way to do this. Is it something I missed? If not, please consider adding it to the various clients in the future. This would be some sort of option I'd select in a note, not on by default.

What I envision is something like this:

2012-04-17 16:21 Meeting was opened

2012-04-17 16:30 Motion to adjourn

...

If one wanted to be fancy the format of the date-time could be changed to suit the preferences of the user. Thanks.

Just preface your new line with CTRL-; which adds a date/time stamp.

To clarify, that's the CTRL button with a semi colon.

This could be achieved with something like autohotkey, and a hotkey.

~Enter::Send, ^;

That should be all you really need, but you could add to it...having conditions/toggles etc.

Thanks, I now see where this is mentioned in the User Guide. This will work for me.

Hi JBS, welcome to the forum

According to the Knowledgebase, the keyboards shortcut on the mac for this is:

⌘ ⇧ D Insert Date at Cursor

⌘ ⇧ ⌥ D Insert Time at Cursor

I am not sure if there is a way to do this on iOS.

Can you just add a button in the editor

I'm sure they could.  Whether they choose to or not is a different story.  However, you could always use a text expander app such as AutoHotkey (free) or Activewords (free for 30 or less "definitions", payware for more).
