Add timestamp to line with shortcut key

[Axlyted]

Hey,

I'm using the newday snippet daily and when I want to fill the Activity log, I have to write the current timestamp. I would like to make a keybinding shortcut that will take the current line and add the current timestamp to the left of it OR update the current timestamp if a timestamp is already on the left (similar mechanism to how the checkbox works).

ex.
09:46 --- I do X and then I do Y.
10:59 --- Done with X. Moving forward to Y.

"HH:MM --- " that's the part that I want to auto-generate with a keybinding. We can set it by default to SHIFT + Q or maybe CTRL + K?

the "---" can be replaced with something more fitting. I'm using this one specifically because that's how I'm using it manually today

If you approve it, I'll try to implement it and then submit a PR.

Neat! I like it. Is it possible to make the timestamp formatting configurable? I assume there will be someone who wants to include the date, or use a 24h clock etc. Also, I think Shift+Q won't work as that's a normal text insertion keystroke "Q", but Ctrl+k sounds like a reasonable default.

I just checked "Ctrl+k" on my vscode and it seems to be bound as the initial key of a combo. So maybe "Ctrl+K Ctrl+U" or something would work better?

Let's address the key binding issue when we get there :)
