I am using Notepad - the standard plain old plain old in Windows 10 Home 64.

I had been typing up some notes and one of my sentences was not correct - I accidentally pasted some text over what I was typing in:
So I was typing this: DISPLAY and CREATE and EDIT
Some large paragraph of text that I had copied previously got inserted over top of my writing (basically a snippet of just text). I had my text hilited (I think) .
I went to Ctrl-Z to undo and as I was doing that somehow my big fingers hit more than one key and I ended up with the CURRENT date and time stamp inserted.

/ 5:43 AM 3/3/2019IT

So I have tried to identify what I had done in order to accomplish that .. and I am unable to determine how in the world I managed to get the current date and time inserted into notepad!

Any idea how this is accomplished?

I do not want alternate suggestions of using Notepad++ or this or that - I want to know how it is possible to do this in the standard Notepad - because somehow I managed to do it by accident.
