Trying to get input down to one key stroke, would like to set a function key to input time. Dave helped by informing me that current time can be captured by entering in CNTL+SHIFT+: Anyone know of a way to set a fuction key to these equivalent of these key strokes?

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop

' Workbook_Open function
Sub SetKeys()
Application.OnKey "{F2}", "mySub"
End Sub

' Workbook_BeforeClose function
Sub UnsetKeys()
Application.OnKey "{F2}"
End Sub

Sub mySub()
Application.SendKeys("^+:")
End Sub
