I'm not sure if all software packages where you may be able to insert a date or
time (attempt to) utilise the modified colon and semi-colon keys or whether it
is only Spreadsheets.

Excel certainly recognises my Scandinavian keyboard and accepts CTRL+SHIFT
modifiers to access the semi-colon [SHIFT]+"," & Colon [SHIFT]+"." - producing
Date and Time respectively. Also, a space between the two procedures will
produce a cell formatted for date & time. I have no idea whether some keyboard
layouts in LO will also permit stringing the two formats together in one cell
as I can't get one of anything.

With LO the lack of recognition that the keys are not consistently mapped
forces me to use Ribbon buttons for inserting dates and times - much better
than manual entry. LO will also permit me to click both buttons in one cell to
produce the date_time string.

Perhaps some users would benefit from a little more publicity for those two
buttons which must be manually added to the ribbon.
