Hi.

You can insert a date string with Ctrl-D, where you get a
1-of-n choice menu. My preferred date format ever is listed last.

I've ever overseen and just now found out that the list of offered
time and date formats may be reordered and modified with the "Edit"
button in the insert date dialog. Under Linux you will modify the
file   $HOME/.config/zim/dates.list.

Besides that, zim rememberes the last selected format and if you
just type in
    Ctrl-D Ret
you will get the last selected format from the list.

Jaap, it's amazing how many features there are under the hood.
Thanks a lot for zim!

Best regards,

    Andreas
