Description
It would be very convenient to have a button called "Now" in "Edit post" window in "Published on: date @ time" section.
Google likes to know when old posts gets updated. So it is recommended to update post "published on:" date when post content is updated. When a user wants to update publishing time and date of a post, he must click "Edit", then manually enter year, month, day, hour and minute of current date and time and then click "Update post". It is quite slow and dull process but it could be automated easily with a new button.
It would be very nice to have a button called "Now" which should automatically fill in year, month, day, hour and minute fields with values of current date and time.
Whenever a user updates post publishing date and time, the date and time that he/she usually enters is current date and time. The "Now" button would be a big time saver for users who update their posts.

Actually, the time stamp which will be placed is not exactly the current time, but the time at which the edit page loaded.

@rohan013's patch 14364.diff applies clean. I like the "Current Time" button and think the time the page was loaded is sufficient (plus it's conveniently already in the DOM so we skip the need for a new Date() and parsing out the pieces for each box.).

Since this ticket was last updated, the new block editor has been shipped in WordPress Core. With this comes a ground up redesign of how content is published.
Moving forward, only bug fix changes will be made to the Classic Editor interface. Because this is a feature request, I am going to close this out. This is not a vote against this idea, it just needs to be explored within the context of the block editor.
I did some searching, and it appears that similar ideas are being explored in issue 12048. Participating there would be the best way to get this into WordPress Core.
I will work on this.
