Can't Insert Time in Composition Mode

As stated, I can’t insert the current time in composition mode. I’ve used the original shortcut, changed the shortcut too, and it doesn’t work at all. Is this just an unfortunate quirk of composition mode or a bug?

Thanks in advance for your help.

That’s great, thanks.

Doesn’t answer the actual question, though. Scrivener has a built-in function to insert the customized time yet it will not work in composition mode.

It does not work in composition mode.

With AutoHotKey and the script I linked to, you could bypass Scrivener’s shortcut, use AHK’s instead, and it would work everywhere. Even in other apps. The shortcut itself - what key combination - being up to your preference; as long as you don’t create conflicts.
