Enter now() for datetime in MySQL Workbench

Some years ago, I faced this bug in MySQL Workbench:

1. Create a table
2. Add a column with type datetime
3. Go to the query editor
4. Try to insert now() into the datetime field

Result: It will not work.

Reason, if you take a look at the query you will see the following:

`test_date`='now()'

Ok, the solution is easy, "now()" must be written without the single quotes. To do this type: 

\func now() 

instead of 

now()
