In Sublime Text, you can create a custom key binding to insert a template text when you press a specific key combination like Cmd+Shift+D. Here’s how you can achieve that:

Step-by-Step Plugin Creation

1. Go to Tools -> Developer -> New Plugin.

2. Replace the content with the following code:

import sublime
import sublime_plugin
from datetime import datetime

class InsertCustomTextCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        # Generate the current date information
        now = datetime.now()
        date_str = now.strftime("%B %d %Y")
        day_name = now.strftime("%A")
        day_num = (now - datetime(now.year, 1, 1)).days + 1

        # Create the template text
        template = f"""
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day # {day_num} {date_str} - {day_name}
---------------------------------------








-------------/
"""
        # Insert the text at the current cursor position
        self.view.insert(edit, self.view.sel()[0].begin(), template)

1. Save the file with a .py extension, for example, insert_custom_text.py.

2. Bind this command to the key combination:

   • Go back to Preferences -> Key Bindings.

   • Add the following to your custom key bindings file:

[    
    {
        "keys": ["super+shift+d"],
        "command": "insert_custom_text"
    }
]

Now, when you press Cmd+Shift+D, the dynamic date will be inserted into your file.

date and time

To achieve this, you can create a custom Sublime Text plugin that inserts the current date and time when you press Cmd+K. Here's how to do it:

Step-by-Step Plugin Creation

1. Open Sublime Text.

2. Go to Tools -> Developer -> New Plugin.

3. Replace the content with the following code:

import sublime
import sublime_plugin
from datetime import datetime

class InsertDateTimeCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        # Get the current date and time
        now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
        # Insert the date and time at the current cursor position
        self.view.insert(edit, self.view.sel()[0].begin(), f"({now})")

1. Save the file with a .py extension, for example, insert_date_time.py.

Key Binding

1. Go to Preferences -> Key Bindings. This will open two files: the default key bindings on the left and your custom key bindings on the right.

2. Add a new key binding to the right file. Here’s an example configuration:

[
    {
        "keys": ["super+k"],  // Cmd is referred to as "super"
        "command": "insert_date_time"
    }
]

Now, when you press Cmd+K, the current date and time will be inserted at your cursor's position in the format (2024-07-25 17:56:28).

To create a Sublime Text plugin that inserts the exact date and time format you provided, follow these steps:

Plugin Code

1. Create the Plugin:

   • Go to Tools > Developer > New Plugin… in Sublime Text.

   • Replace the default content with the following Python code:

   import sublime
   import sublime_plugin
   from datetime import datetime
   
   class InsertFormattedDateCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
       def run(self, edit):
           # Get the current date and time
           now = datetime.now()
           day_of_year = now.strftime('%j')  # Day of the year
           formatted_date = now.strftime(
               f'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n'
               f'Day # {day_of_year} %B {now.day} {now.year} - %A\n'
               f'{now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")}\n'
               f'---------------------------------------\n\n\n\n'
               f'-------------/'
           )
           
           # Insert the formatted date at the current cursor position
           for region in self.view.sel():
               if region.empty():
                   self.view.insert(edit, region.begin(), formatted_date)
               else:
                   self.view.replace(edit, region, formatted_date)

2. Save the Plugin:

   • Save this file in your Sublime Text Packages/User directory with a name like insert_formatted_date.py.

3. Create a Key Binding:

   • Go to Preferences > Key Bindings.

   • Add a new key binding entry to call this plugin, like this:

   [
       { "keys": ["cmd+shift+d"], "command": "insert_formatted_date" }
   ]

How It Works

• Day of Year Calculation: now.strftime('%j') is used to get the day number of the year.

• Date and Time Formatting: The strftime function is used to format the date and time as specified in your example.

This setup will insert the exact format you need when you press cmd+shift+d in Sublime Text.
