<p>It would be very helpful to have a way to insert custom dates via a snippet. Either using the Edit->Insert Date->Custom Date Format  or via predefining the strftime-syntax inside the snippet itself. </p>

<p>Usecase:</p>

<p>Inserting a string like: </p>

<pre><code>2015-10-14 17:40: operations: flow: 
</code></pre>

<p>without typing to much (as it is always the same beside the current timestamp) </p>
