Modes for data entry are confusing. Why not having two side-by-side
entries, allowing the user to select the preferred one:
- a combo box with free-form text entry. The drop-down list shows
relative dates (today, yesterday, last week...)
- besides it, a calendar widget. Selecting something in the calendar
writes a correctly formatted date in the combo box.
