What about using a modifier key on the day keys?  This would allow you to keep 
the same basic key structure for all increment/decrement operations which 
would mean it's easier to remember for end-users, and I would expect that 
you'd be able to reuse the same code with a simple test to see if a modifier
key is also being used.

	+/-	for days increment/decrement
  Shift +/-	for weeks increment/decrement
    Alt +/-	for months increment/decrement
   Ctrl	+/-	for years increment/decrement

Of course, I'm sure someone will hate this idea, and therefore insist that 
this be completely customizable, which will in turn require a whole bunch more 
code for something so unimportant in the grand scheme of things :)

Again, just my $.02 (that's $.04 for the day so far :)
