How to make shortcut key to insert date formatted as "Weekday, day month year"

Hi forum, Newbie here.

How to make shortcut key to insert date formatted as “Weekday, day month year”

I like to have shortcut key (Alt-X) to insert the current date as text in document.
Not a date field that changes each day.

Is this easy in LO. (Sorry, I’m a refugee from that other MS package.)

Hi

The shortcut for date input: Ctrl+;

If you need a specific format, my suggestion would be to create a cell style and apply it to the relevant cells: FormatStyle And Formatting (sidebar)

Regards

Hi everyone,

Was just wondering…

How to do I press Ctrl+; so as to get the date?

Problem is I have to press shift to get the “;” no? Maybe there’s another way.

YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM AM/PM This is the format I’m trying to get when I use the shortcut keys so as to enter the date and time in the cell.

Thanks lot Mark
