In the en-US locale, for the sc Calc module the assigned shortcut for the UNO .uno:InsertCurrentTime is <Ctrl>+<Shift>+";"

Visible in the Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard tab

That matches behavior in MS Excel.

The <Ctrl>+<Shift>+":" has nothing assigned to it, which is good bcz it has proven problematic using the upper keysym register for shortcuts in general for any locale.

You can customize your keyboard shortcuts as you like, but current default for LO are appropriate (and localized when needed for keyboard variations).

IMHO => NAB
