| ===== Using Variables with These Date/Time Tokens ===== | ===== Using Variables with These Date/Time Tokens ===== | ||
| - | To use a Variable instead of a number in a token, like the ICUDateTimePlus token, just enter the Variable name without any additional %, as in: | + | You can use a number, Variable, and formula using Variables, in the _numeric_ parameters, like the amount of time in the ICUDateTimePlus token, which has this format: \\ |
| + | |||
| + | %**ICUDateTimePlus**%<color blue><amount of time></color>%<color #22b14c>[unit of time]</color>%<color #22b14c>[output date format]</color>% | ||
| + | |||
| + | where \\ | ||
| + | * angle brackets <color blue>< ></color> denote a numeric parameter, may use a Variable and/or formula | ||
| + | * square brackets <color #22b14c>[ ]</color> denote a text-only parameter, cannot use a Variable | ||
| + | |||
| + | The _text-only_ parameters must be plain text, and be a valid choice for that parameter. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Examples** | ||
| ``` | ``` | ||
| - | %ICUDateTimePlus%3%Days%yyyyMMdd% | + | %ICUDateTimePlus%3%Days%MM/dd/yyyy% |
| - | %ICUDateTimePlus%YourVariableName%Days%yyyyMMdd% | + | %ICUDateTimePlus%myAmountOfTime%Days%yyyyMMdd% |
| + | %ICUDateTimePlus%myBaseNumber + 3%Months%yyyy-MM-dd% | ||

| + | ===== Localization ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Prior to Mojave, and after Keyboard Maestro 9.0, dates should be in your chosen language. Unfortunately Apple changed Mojave and later to make the system return dates only in the Keyboard Maestro localized language (ie, English), regardless of your chosen locale. Keyboard Maestro 9.0 works around this by claiming to be in all locales, even though it is really only localized for English itself. | ||
