Shortcut keys for date fields

[ottyacat]

It would be nice to have some shortcut keys for date fields.

+ = add 1 day to existing date
-  = minus 1 day from existing date
t  = today (useful to quickly correct the date if something else is in the field).

This makes it quicker when entering dates, especially for transactions that occur a day or two ago as its just a button press away without having to touch the mouse.

. = today's date as well

Up and down instead of plus/minus works for changing day by one.

Didn't know that, thanks!

Things like this should be collected to be included in upcoming tutorials. It's very useful yet the average new user may go months without knowing.

Would it be possible to request that this functionality is reversed such that the down arrow goes back in time and the up arrow goes forward in time?

+1 to reverse arrow keys.  Really prefer +/- keys also.

The problem with +/- is that some locales use "-" to separate dd-mm-yy.

So I'll have to disable +/- for those locales...

I'll do it though, b/c it does make sense.

I'll reverse, it confuses me too.

What do you think about page up/page down for jumping a full month forward or back?

Thanks for the quick fixes.
