Very good Effort

Useful. Thanks!
Very Useful!
Thanks!
what about including milliseconds with %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f
thanks for this!
Hi guys! Love this script and use it all the time. The only gripe I've got is that the active window does not scroll down to the input point.
Place cursor at the bottom of a document, scroll up a few pages, hit the keyboard shortcut, and the window does not scroll down to where the time entry was inserted.
What would I need to do to accomplish this?

Thank you for this!! Your readme.md file was perf!
Most people just toss up a code snippet and assume way too much—that the reader will know how to install, how to make a key binding, etc. Is this simple? Yes, if you've done it more than a couple times. But if this is your first few hours with Sublime like me? Different story. Thanks a ton for posting. Totally straight forward and clear. Now I have timestamps again.
(Wish Sublime 3 would support the "Services" menu where I have a system-wide shortcut for timestamp.)
