[GNC] Date Picker Info

[Adrien Monteleone]

I just looked at the guide and some of those are there. The Shift and CTRL versions of increment/decrement week/year aren’t listed.

Are those hard coded or are they alterable accelerators? If the latter, then non-English users could customize them to suit.

Also, don’t forget these two which are in the Guide:

	• ] or } to increment the month and [ or { to decrement the month

	• T or t to enter today’s date

That last one is very useful if you’ve entered a different date and now want to enter something for today. (as GnuCash retains the last date you used as the default for the next transaction)

Regards,
Adrien
