Can find how to auto insert date etc, but not just a simple keyboard shortcut
to add the date in a body of text

Alt+Shift+D will insert a DATE field (using the date format you have
selected as the default in the Insert | Date and Time dialog), but that's
rarely what you want. If you just want date text, you can insert the field
and then unlink it (Ctrl+Shift+F9), or you can start typing the date and let
AutoComplete help.
