Add right-click option for "today" in editable date fields

wbt
Editable date fields such as "accessed," particularly if empty (but also with data, OK) should have an option where you can right click and set the date to today/now. This would be a similar UX to right clicking and choosing Transform Text-> Title Case or lower case. It would make manual entry easier, and not require external clocks & calendars.

This is an enhancement/feature request. Thanks to all the developers for your hard work so far!

    Try entering "today", "yesterday", "tomorrow" -- it works already for at least the "Date"‌ field.

    Wow.

    I was just entering a bunch of "today's dates". Thanks for the heads up! (I wonder what else don't I know? )

    I feel like we should do more to both garden and publicize that page.
