Feature request: Insert simple timestamp

[573]

In settings one might set a formatter and then define which key to insert a current date/timestamp according to pattern.

Sir, I suggest this is not a job for a "lightweight" keyboard. Perhaps a job for your preferred word processor.

One might argue, but also this.

This is related to #228 and #812

I'd definitely accept a PR that implements this. People will eventually ask for custom date formats so I think it's smart to take this into account when designing the syntax for the new key. Perhaps using https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html ?
The different kinds of keys are defined in KeyValue and parsed in KeyValueParser. You'll need to invent a syntax for describing the date format. You can then decode the KeyValue and send the actual text in KeyEventHandler.
