Splunk-friendly timestamp plugin snippet for Sublime Text 2

instructions.markdown

1. Choose: Tools > New Plugin

2. Paste in the contents of "timestamp.py" below

3. Save as timestamp.py in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/ (should be the default directory that pops up when you save)

4. Choose: Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Key Bindings - User

5. Add:

   { "keys": ["super+ctrl+t"], "command": "timestamp" }

To make command+ctrl+t perform the insertion.
Make sure to add a comma after the previous keymap entry, if present.

timestamp.py

import sublime, sublime_plugin
from datetime import datetime

class TimestampCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
  def run(self, edit):
    stamp = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ ")
    for r in self.view.sel():
      if r.empty():
        self.view.insert (edit, r.a, stamp)
      else:
        self.view.replace(edit, r,   stamp)

I can confirm this works on Sublime Text 3, Build 3033, Windows 64-bit, with these small changes;

• In step 3, save timetstamp.py to C:\Users\your.name\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User
• In step 5, replace "super+ctrl+t" with "alt+ctrl+t"

Then invoke with alt+ctrl+t.

Thanks for this, Jordan!

I would need UTC + 2 hours. How could this be achieved?

Thank you.

Hi chrispx,

for me it worked using datetime.now() instead of datetime.utcnow()
