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.

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

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
