Date fields: Quickly select today's date with keyboard

I have just had this raised with me.

In classic - whenever there is a date field, clicking into the date field to highlight the complete date and pressing 'T' on the keyboard quickly changed it to todays today.


This isnt working in sky view - you click into the date field and it doesnt highlight the date, it just sits next to the last charachter and pressing T doesnt work. Even manually highlighting it and pressing T doesnt work. Means we have to take extra steps/clicks to replace the date.


Im not sure how wide spread this is used - but seems like a very handy feature for Classic view that hasnt been incorporated into Sky.

    This is one of my biggest gripes with SKY view. The amount of times I have put 't' into a date field forgetting that there is no fuctionality for this shortcut.

    Wow! I didn't know about this feature Louisa. Now I've tried it in BBGM and I want it in SKY too!

    And I'm sure everyone else who tries it will also want it.
