I do interstitial journaling and would like to time-stamp every journal entry. Right now, I do it with the shortcut app. Rather tedious.

Please add a menu option to insert date and time at the cursor position. Add a settings option to format the date/time (ISO etc., w/wo hours/minutes …).

  You mean like the text expansion shortcuts in the Advanced Preferences pane that support standard date time formatting amongst other things?  

  :)

  Check out the `default.json` file for some examples.

  THX for the quick reply - much appreciated!!

  Yes, exactly. 

  Can you tell me how I can get 24h instead of AM/PM in .dts? Is it possible to localize the month names?

  I'm  used to work with YYYY-MM-dd EEEE HH:mm type of description.. I'm not familiar with json.

  JSON has nothing to do with it.  These are standard strftime formatting (as linked to by the nvUltra help document that Brett compiled – https://documentation.help/C-Cpp-Reference/strftime.html or http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/strftime/).

  Your OS is responsible for expanding them, so localization is up to the OS.
