Enhancement: Add button to paste date

[ghost]

Add button to paste date as in the format: yyymmdd as a string (ex: 20171002).

This is very helpful in writing diaries. Also very helpful for dating notes/todos/lists... etc.

I use it on my ubuntu with a keyboard button shortcut script to paste date and rename files:

/bin/bash -c "date +\"%Y%m%d\"| tr -d '\n' | xclip -selection clipboard && xdotool key Control_L+v"

This is how to do it:

Get current time & date:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd"); String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date());
