"It would be great to be able to copy the current Time and date, just by left click and hold on top of the task bar time anda date And also be able to choose, to whether copy only the date, or only the current time, or both by doing it."

AlomWare Toolbox solution: Here is an action that you can set to a hotkey. When the hotkey is pressed, it pops up a selection of time/date options, which you then select with up/down arrows and press Enter to copy the selected item to the clipboard. You could also set this to pop up from a typed text trigger instead of a hotkey (such as by typing "/dt").

Note in step 2 how the line ends with a "¬" character; this means AlomWare Toolbox will continue it with the next line in the action.
