Insert date shortcut key in Calc

Hello,

First of all - is there a way to insert only the date without the time by using a shortcut key such as Ctrl+; - which inserts both the date and time.

And secondly - in ODT files the inserted date (Ctrl+;) does not show up immediately in the cell but only after some other action is taken.

OS is Win 7, 64bits. LibO is 4.1.1.2 from PortableApps.com

We have the same question.
