macro

Currently 3 macros available (@inputfilename, @fullinputfilename and @clipboard).
What about a macro to insert current date and time? Something like : @today?

Good idea.

What format should it be inserted in? System full date format, system short date format, or perhaps a different macro for each format.

I don't really care about the format because textpipe's filters can be used to reformat to whatever is needed.
I would suggest something like YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

And if it gives date and time, maybe it's not a good idea to call it @today, it may be better to call it @now or @timestamp.

The next version will have the following new macros:

@time
Inserts the time with the system-defined long time format
@date
Inserts the date with the system-defined short date format
@datetime
Inserts the date and time with the system-defined short date format and long time format.
