Is there a function to insert the current time among keyboard shortcuts? I didn't enter any syntax, but this code was generated.

I'd really like to know what this feature is. This feature will be very helpful for my R work.
Use Sys.time() + format:
format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y")
# [1] "Mon Aug 22 11:13:52 2022"
In Rstudio, you can use that to do a snippet. Go to Tools > Edit Code Snippets.
snippet currentDate
# Date: `r paste(format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"))` ------------------
And then, in the script, type currentDate + enter:
# Date: Mon Aug 22 11:17:18 2022 ------------------
