I guess the literals just don't resolve when you intellisense them in.  I have worked around it using macros which are also kind of fun

I'll post back here if I ever figure out an intellisense version ...

For lurkers not familiar with this cool tip: 

If you create a token for the task list

you can then put (your own initials )

'CRH:

in a comment and all such references will be listed with jump to links in the task list

( now if I could just figure out how to get the snippet that inserts it when I type crh TAB to put in the current date time as well ... )

'CRH: <datetime>

' -- < my comments will go here >

I thought I was getting the hang of the snippet editor but can't seem to find the magic words to get it to insert the current date and time when it intellisenses the snippet. 

I have a macro that does it, which I dragged onto the tools menu and as a 'button' on the standard toolbar (that was an accident) and that works but I'd like to know how to have a snippet insert datetime.now or datetimenow.tolongstring() or whatever

Second part of question : for some reason today I can't create a new Task List Token.  The ADD choice is greyed out.  Thought it was working before.  Any idea what I could have done to break it?

TIA
