Ctrl + Space and Alt + Space

[VictorParkerPIM]

Insert current date and time quickly in last used format using a shortcut (Ctrl+Space by default)
That's the way I always thought it should work.
A great addition would be to use Alt + Space to pull up the Date Menu, to change to another date format.

I really like the 10.1 update, it is very close to perfect.

Thanks for the suggestion, although Alt+Space will not likely work as usually the upper menu gets highlighted when you press on the Alt button. Will think about adding another shortcut for that.

Shift + Space would be my next choice.

I was wondering whether the shortcut to insert the date / time in the last format could be made into a variable that we could assign like we do to other keys in the shortcut menu?

[VictorParkerPIM]

Todd, You can already assign a new shortcut like we do other keys in the shortcut menu.
It's in the Options menu.

I see a changeable shortcut for Insert Date and Time under the global shortcuts, but I would like to change the key used in the check box at the bottom of the insert-date dialog box that says "Use Shift + Space to insert date and time in last used format". That combination causes me problems when I'm typing sometimes.

Check box at the bottom of the insert-date dialog box that says "Use Shift + Space to insert date and time in last used format".

Looks like check box and Shift+Space to insert date and time has been removed in Ver. 11.5 Bata1

todd, thanks for the suggestion, noted.

VictorParkerPIM, the checkbox is still there in 11.5 Beta1.

Ok, thank you

Admin,
VictorParkerPIM, the checkbox is still there in 11.5 Beta1.

I have not found the checkbox in the Options Menu.

[admin]

The checkbox is in Notes.

Sorry, I was viewing the Tools-Options Menu.
