I am looking for a way to establish a keyboard-shortcut for inserting the current date when using the text-editor, Gedit. I know it can be done by selecting "Insert Date and Time" in the "Tools" menu - but this is laborious - a keystroke facility would be magic!

As you will find in the duplicate question, you can implement that through a bash function. That does not use the plugin: it is not possible - curiously enough - to directly bind a shortcut to the plugin. – vanadium Dec 03 '21 at 09:44

Great! Yes, this answers very nicely. Many thanks. – Duncan Dec 03 '21 at 13:44
