Automatic Timestamp Insertion

- Positions cursor after timestamp for immediate typing
Multi-Format Support
- .txt files: Plain text timestamp with newlines
- .log files: Standard log format with newlines
- .md files: Markdown heading format (## YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM AM/PM)
Smart Processing

- Preserves existing file content
- Adds timestamps at the end of the document
- Works with both new and existing files
