Is there a hotkey (or similar) to insert the current date or timestamp in a task description?

Is there a hotkey (or similar) to insert the current date or timestamp in a task description? Something like ^today for due dates. Thanks!

    Hi, there is no such a shortcut. Why would you want it?

    We have such a request in our uservoice database, but we don't have close plans to implement it so far: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/193991-shortcut-to-add-current-date-time

    Best,

    Hi again, Kirill Maximov:

    The plan is to use a Checkvist list to implement a a journal/log so each entry corresponds to one day, with the date (year-month-day) as the label entry and subitems/notes for the details.

    Maybe there's a better approach to do that?

    Thanks again.

    For such a case I use a log with top-level nodes as months (2017-01) and subnodes - days. So I just create a subnode with the current day and enter details below. Never wanted to have any extra shortcuts with such a solution.
    By the way, here is a blog post from one of our friends and customers which you may find useful: hadihariri.com - Organizing my week with Checkvist

    I'm using keyboard shortcuts to insert current date or timestamp a lot. Not only inside Checkvist. My choice was PhraseExpress on Windows, and TextExpander on Mac. There are other tools that can do it as well.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
