Add {today now} date calculation

3 votes

I could simply use {today} {now}, but the extra brackets feel like an extra step when they could be just one, if implemented.

Use Case:
Timestamping notes & to-dos.

I find it useful to know exactly when I was writing about something, within the note context. Especially for ideas I'm growing over time, it's nice to see a sense of progression.

I could use just {now} in daily jots, but if I'm writing a note, the date isn't as accessible.

In theory, it seems simple to just combine these 2 date calculation commands into one, as is.

Thanks for your suggestion Timoy! In the meantime, make sure to use {1 minute ago} or {1 second ago} which should be slightly easier to type?

I set up a CRM template and I have a H3 Heading named Calls as well os name and address, occupation etc. as H3 "titles". Today I spoke to one of my students in England and I wanted to add this below Calls on his CRM page with all the details of that phone call. It would be great if there was a shortcut to add the Date or Date & Time before I start adding content to that note under Calls. This way in the future when I pull up that person in my CRM I could easily see what the date and time of that call was. Hope this makes sense. I think OneNote has this feature and I'd like to see it here too.
