Ctrl+; using Hungarian keyboard

Is there a way to enter into an Excel cell the static date using Ctrl+; using a Hungarian keyboard? Any tricks? Certainly it is easy and staightforward using the English keyboards.

    istvan57 How do you type the ; as a character in regular text? If that involves holding down any other key, like Alt, Shift, or another modifier key, you must also hold down that modifier key along with control when you press ; to get the current date.

      Thanks. ; can be obtained holding down Alt Gr and a "key ; on that". However holding down Ctrl + Alt Gr and a "key ; on that" will not produce the date. It does not change anything if I use the Ctrl key too, the result is the same ;

        Ctrl+Shift+: is fine, it gives the static time.
