Sublime Text: How do I add a snippet that can excute keyboard shortcuts

Question

I wanted to have a snippet that automatically adds the time and date to the file.

Answer 1

You can't do this with snippets, as they can't handle dynamically-generated data like datetimes. Instead, you need a plugin to generate the information on the fly. Fortunately, some already exist in Package Control.

Timenow looks like a good one, although I haven't used it personally. I have used InsertDate and really like it. It's very configurable and allows for time zone customization, among other features. It also has very good documentation.
