Hi,
Is there a way to let xemacs insert the current date and time at the actual
cursor location?
Thanks for any hint
Guy

Using keyboard macros for instance:
C-x ( C-u M-! date RET C-x )
Now you can use C-x e to call the last kbd macro or
M-x edit-kbd-macro RET C-x e
to see the whole macro, being able to edit it and give it a name
and keybinding. Use C-c C-c to save.

Here's some elisp which does them separately... what I use:
(defun now ()
"Insert string for the current time formatted like '2:34 PM'."
(interactive) ; permit invocation in minibuffer
(insert (format-time-string "%-I:%M %p"))
)
(defun today ()
"Insert string for today's date nicely formatted in American style,
e.g. Sunday, September 17, 2000."
(interactive) ; permit invocation in minibuffer
(insert (format-time-string "%A, %B %e, %Y"))
)
Put these in a file in your emacs path. Do "M-x today" or "M-x now" to
invoke. Also, it should be obvious how to integrate the two.
hth,
ken

You could also use
C-u M-! date RET

Probably, but here is some elisp to do it:
(insert (format-time-string "%c"))
You can bind this to a key like:
(defun jmh::insert-time-and-date ()
(interactive)
(insert (format-time-string "%c")))
(global-set-key (kbd "A-d") 'jmh::insert-time-and-date)
Which would use Alt-d as the keybinding.
