Holding it down will go back days continually until it is released. I never actually type a date. Even when I have to go back months, I usually just hold down the minus key and wait for it to get there.

Even better, you can correct a not-desired month with ] or } for the
following month or [ or { for the preceding month. This is faster than
doing it a day at a time, and less susceptible of error for releasing
the + or - key too soon or too late.

The shortcuts for date entry are listed here:
