Keyboard Shortcut for Date and Time and a Lot more
I would literally buy the keyboard short cut utilities just so I could type something like command-shift-T to get the time to type out, or command-shift-D to get the date. This utility does that simply and effectivally and a whole lot more.
Best of all, it does it using the system services so it is not some patchy-cludge that only works sometimes, breaks things and needs constant updates. This little buzz-saw utlity is awesome.
The only think I could think of adding is the ablity to customize the things it expands. It would be nice to have the ablity to type dates out like 23-Aug-2015 or time out like 1430 hrs Eastern.
But for what it does, it just saved me so much time typing, it gets 4 stars without hesitation. Thanks!
Short Descriptions
I like the variety of options for text editing, inserting, etc., but the developer(s) did not put a lot of time into carefully choosing descriptions for the Services. This is evident when one launches System Preferences and tries to decide whether or not to check certain boxes for the WordService Services. The System Preferences window cannot be re-sized, and therefore, many of the Service descriptions are truncated. The Read Me PDF file offers some assistance, but only brief descriptions instead of actual examples.
Useful
I’ve been using this thing for maybe a decade—or however long it has been around. If you use the Mac’s services menu and you need to change the formatting of text quite often, then this is a nobrainer, whether you download it here or directly from them.
