direct date entry

[kenyoni]

Provide a way to enter a start date directly. Either by typing in date and/or selecting from a calendar.

Currently, the only way to get to a day 3 months ago is to hit the back arrow 90 times. (Though implementing issue #14 would also help a lot on this, but only if #15 is resolved)

Being able to directly enter a start date not only makes going to a day in the [distant] past more sane, it allows for more flexibility for the week and month views: Show me the 7 days starting on "this" date or show me the 35 days starting on "this" date. ...I use "35" since that is what is displayed in month view anyhow so it makes sense to use all the slots available.

This will also help with the week/month view at the beginning of the week/month; That is, showing June 1-30 on June 7 is less than useful in most cases as is showing June 7-13 on June 7th. Not only is showing the previous 7/35 days a bit more useful, life (and browsing habits) generally don't fall on nice neat week/month boundaries. ...at least for me, anyhow.
