I was about to say that is very handy --- but then I noticed that it does not
work for me - and Im on Kubuntu 25.04 Version: 25.8.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice.
I did try CTRL and the large + button on the numeric pad of my keyboard but that
only inserts cells.

There's a predefined shortcut (CTRL+; on linux... it's probably Command+;
on Mac)  that enters the date into the currently selected field.

You can add a different keystroke if you want in

I have task that involves logging activities into a 2 column
table: date, activity.  Is there any way that I can automagically
put the current date into column 1 when I open the row by tabbing
the last row of the table?


I assume you are using Calc and that you mean that you want the current
date as a fixed date (not =DATE()). In that case, I actually do a similar
thing pretty often.
My method is to use a Sheet Event (right click a sheet tab, and there it
is) to assign a macro to an event for that sheet only. The macro then
detects which cell was changed and fills the cell on the same row in the
Date column with the current date, so when using the sheet, you just enter
values in your other column, and after you done that, the current date
appears in the corresponding date cell.
If you don't know how to write the actual macro, maybe I (or someone else)
can help.


Kind regards
