YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

I have autohotkey configured to insert the current date in ISO 8601 format into my filenames on keyboard shortcut for just this reason. So organized. So pure.

Download Autohotkey, and create a new script. Paste these shortcuts into the script and restart the script:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.

SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

:R*?:ddd::

FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyyy-MM-dd

SendInput %CurrentDateTime%

return

:R*?:dtt::

FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyMMddHHmm

SendInput %CurrentDateTime%

Return

Now, if you type 'ddd' on your keyboard, the current date will be typed out, eg '2023-11-23'.

If you type 'dtt' tgen the datetime stamp will be typed out in YYMMDDhhmm format, eg 2311231012
