Hi all,

I find it a bit inconvenient to use the calendar to add a due date for a task.

Assuming that you already added an entry to the dates.list file (something like [d: %Y-%m-%d]), you need to
* press <ctrl>+d
* select your format (if changed to other format)
* select the due date in the calendar
* click insert

In an ideal situation you still have 2 steps, if the right format and the right date is already selected.

As I found myself adding tasks which usually are due in 1 week,
I prepared a plugin (duedate.py) which adds the due date with one step:
* press <ctrl>+ .

The plugin provides the due date in the due date format added to the dates.list + adding x days to today.

Within the configuration of the plugin, you can set the number of days you want to add to <today>.

Any feedback appreciated.

Have fun.
Murat
