Here is a simple function I use to inserts the date and time:
(defvar current-date-time-format " %d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S "
"Format of date to insert with `insert-current-date-time' func
See help of `format-time-string' for possible replacements")
(defun insert-current-date-time ()
"insert the current date and time into current buffer.
Uses `current-date-time-format' for the formatting the date/time."
(interactive)
(insert (format-time-string current-date-time-format (current-time))))
I use the Alt Shift C combination for this function:
(global-set-key [?\A-C] 'insert-current-date-time)
If your Alt key creates the Meta modifier, then use:
(global-set-key [?\M-C] 'insert-current-date-time)
Of course, you can choose any key you like.
Ehud.
