I think you do have to go to the Item Attributes pane to specify a due date. The keyboard shortcuts are helpful - ctrl-4 to focus the attributes pane, then use the arrow keys to move through the attributes and tab to the one you want to edit. You can also tab through the attributes and edit them in succession.

You could add Due Date to a note by focusing the item attributes pane and then using Insert. You will be prompted to specify a new attribute or select from one of the existing attributes in your database.

You can follow the same method for adding default attributes to an item type. For example, select the Text template item, then go to the attributes pane and use Insert to add other default attributes (clear the value of the attribute after you add it unless you want all new items from the template to have that as a default value). So, you can add Due Date to the Text note type and then any future items of that type will have the Due Date attribute.
