I received the forum summary a few minutes ago, your question was mentioned there. As I'm not using F4 or CTRL-SHIFT-T, my way of doing it came to my mind: Autohotkey. I have three "shortcuts":
.tod which will be replaced by the current date, like 20190712 .now which adds the time, 20190712_120835 and finally .yes which is, of course, yesterday. 20190711. ; - Insert Date & time to be used to rename a file :*:.now:: FormatTime, xx,, yyyyMMdd_HHmmss SendInput, %xx% Return ; - Insert year + week :*:.week:: FormatTime, xx,, YWeek SendInput, %xx% Return ; - Insert Date ::.tod:: FormatTime, xx,, yyyyMMdd SendInput, %xx% Return ::.yes:: time := A_Now time += -1, Days FormatTime, xx, %time%, yyyyMMdd SendInput, %xx% Return Ok, there's a fourth one which adds year + week, like 201928. You can of course format the time as you wish, well described on the AHK website <https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/FormatTime.htm>. Sidenote: The reason I have these replacements is mainly due to my file naming convention. I normally place the current date in front of each file I create. Hope that helps :-) Cheers André Am Freitag, 12.
