I’m documenting my progress learning Rust, and I want to add a “chip” containing the date and time of when I wrote it, something similar to this:
Maybe something along the lines of Anuppuccin’s “speech bubbles”, List Callouts, or custom checklists could work?
I’d check out what the different themes offer. If there’s nothing there, then a plugin or some custom CSS using checklists or possibly some other Markdown element you can take over. Less than ideal, but using HTML is also an option.
Maybe also add a hotkey for insetting current time?
Also: Enter Current time with Button inside Template - #2 by kenjibailly
I’m a little late to the show, but have you considered using inline fields from dataview?
With the following markup:
[chip:: 16:21] Learned something new today...
And this CSS in a snippet:
:not(.cm-active) .inline-field-key[data-dv-key="chip"] {
display: none;
& + .inline-field-value {
background-color: var(--color-blue);
border-radius: 8px;
}
}
You get an output like:
This can of course be style however you like.

I do this with two hotkeys in Textexpander.
I type dd# for inserting date and the current day and tt# for the time.

Since I use an external program this works in every program I use.
Except it is $$$ 
maybe try espanso instead? Could not find better free alternatives…
