Synopsis

This script provides date-and-time-stamp insertion for The Kate Editor.

Keyboard shortcuts

• Ctrl+Alt+d inserts a date and time of the form 20170312 15:01 at the current cursor position.

• Ctrl+Alt+t inserts a date and time of the form Wednesday, April 12, 2017 22:58:04 at the current cursor position.

Keyboard shortcuts are specified in the katescript object literal at the top of the file, so changing them is quick and easy.

Installation

Place a copy of this script in your katepart5\script\commands directory, which turns out to be C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\katepart5\script\commands on my WIndows 10 system (YMMV), and (re)start Kate. It should therafter be usable via its keyboard shortcuts and through the Kate UI—look in Tools > Scripts > Brian's Utility Belt.
