The first "m" should be lowercase in %Y-%M-%dT%H:%M:%S.

How to use: Sublime Text > Tools > New Plugin, paste this in, save somewhere in the ST2 packages directory and it'll be available immediately.

Great utility.

Gists have no pull requests. I when I updated the gist, I stuck it a repo merriam/timestamp https://github.com/merriam/timestamp

I'm new to ST2. I made a new package through new Plugin and restartet ST. If I type idoD+Tab nothing happens. Do I have to do something fancy?
