Add ^Scheduled hook for calendar pop-up

On web (and android possibly) I would like to have a calendar pop-up when selecting '^scheduled' in the Smart-Add input field. Right now, it is only possible to add a date explicitly, but selecting one from a calendar pop-up is much easier to do.

I.e. something like the what exists in the "Edit Task" view.

The Smart Add is for keyboard quick adding in most cases. We will consider your suggestion seriously.

Yes, I see your point. Perhaps it would be un-intuitive to pop up a graphical calendar/date selector. How would you navigate this widget with your keyboard only. Perhaps there is a good way to do that, I don't know.

It is analogous to how the other shortcuts work today though (you press '^' and smart add shows you the options for '^'), but those are easy to navigate with up/down keys (or refining the search by continue typing).

Perhaps it would be OK to pop-up the calendar when someone press '^' and then select (or type) "Scheduled". As this cannot be selected today, there is no risk of creating problems with existing workflow (i.e. unexpected pop-ups when typing a smart-add).

Then again, perhaps this is not aligned with the GTD methodology. Perhaps the best thing to do is to _not_ allow this and let user's refine their tasks from the Inbox. I'm OK with that too, as long as it has been considered.
