shortcut for grouped attributes

--- your @GTD attributes would be at the top
--- you'd tick the ones you want
--- click [OK]
--- fill in the values

A user keyword type menu would definitely be a step in the right direction, definitely an improvement & a neat idea.

But it doesn't preclude a shortcut key. Both ideas could co-exist but a practical compromise might be to allow the user a few custom shortcut keys (like <SHFT><CTRL>R that could be assigned to attribute groups of choice.

The shortcut key idea won't work for everything because it's overuse would end up w too many useless fields in attributes. But it does work for groups like reminder & GTD.

I tjhink the ability to use attributes is one of URp's greatest strengths & I think it should be more user friendly.
