Description

The Time Inserter plugin adds a simple yet handy feature-quickly inserting the current time at your cursor, rounded to the nearest 5-minute mark. It outputs time in a clean 24-hour format like 09:05 or 14:35, which is useful for timestamping notes, meeting logs, or daily journals. Designed to be extremely lightweight, it runs only when triggered and uses no background processes or external libraries. This ensures it has virtually no impact on system performance. You can trigger it via command palette or assign a custom hotkey for faster access.
