How to insert from shell? E.g insert date in current line?

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Specifications

I want to make a key binding to insert the current date instead of requiring a silly input automation like
bindsym $meta+Home exec echo type $(date '+%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') | dotool

You can use the textfilter command:
textfilter date '+%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

Commands can be bound to keys by editing ~/.config/micro/bindings.json (see help keybindings for details):

{
    "Alt-d": "command:textfilter date '+%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'"
}
