time date format

When I updated to Ventura on my MacBook [now using 13.1], I notice that the easy-to-use time and date format scenario under system settings has disappeared. Maybe it disappeared earlier, but I did not notice.

It looked like the attached pic...

I use a journal program that uses system settings.

The date produced by Cmd-Shift-D defaults to Jan 01, 2023

I want the "full" format: Sunday January 01, 2023

Command Shift D....(?)

hard coded in your un-named application...

Thanks, Leroy, I will try that, but the Cmd-shift-D inserts a date in the "format determined by the system settings on the Mac". The journal program does not create any format on it's own.

If I can set the date format to "full" (using Apple's description) on the Mac settings, the commands will simply call on that Apple setting.

I use a macro app, Keyboard Maestro , to set a keystroke to any date format I want. I use Control+Option+D to get this year format: 2023-01-02.

With this key combination: Shift+Control+\ I get: Monday, January 2, 2023

There are a number of other macro apps of varying price in the App Store. Just search for "macro". I use Keyboard Maestro as it's the most powerful and I use it in a multitude of situations other than just the date.

Keyboard Maestro is good but I like TYPINATOR even more.

It does much more but it does allow you to format dates however you like.
