I'm having an incredibly hard time figuring out how to make the hot-key setting on the Mac version work to copy the time or system time. On my PC it was very easy to do, but on my Mac, it's proving to be incredibly difficult. Every key combination isn't working...I've tried just the ~ by itself, command+~, even tried command+shift+Z. Any advice on how to make the hot-key work to copy the time and allow me to paste it into a word document or excel file? Thanks!
