Keyboard Shortcut for Drop Down Calendar
 

I've had a bit of a look for this, and in the assumption that it doesn't already exist...

Might I suggest that the key be set to drop-down the calendar in date fields in a similar manner to that which can be already used to drop-down combo boxes.
OR
Users can already press to bring up a small calendar window. Perhaps pressing of key or clicking on the [Insert] button could deposit the selected date into the date field that had focus before the calendar window was shown?

PS: is just my installation or do others experience the following?
- Click on a item that has a form associated with it
- Click in the Item Text area and start typing
- Press to bring up the calendar, select & insert a date
- The date gets put in the first edit control of my data entry form, rather than the Item Text area!
