Add date buttons for "today" and "yesterday" in addition to date picker

[xMartin]

In order to make the most used options for date entry easier accessible, add buttons for "today" and "yesterday" in addition to the date picker. These could all be in one line next to each other. "Today" would be selected by default. Additionally there could be a display in the buttons or below the line of buttons showing the actual selected date.

How would we handle edit mode? This only makes sense in "new" mode, right?

In edit mode the date picker button would be selected? Then we definitely need a date display.

The 3-part-toggle makes sense for both new and edit. In fact, I’d say we should aim to have new and edit as similar as possible, or actually the same at least as far as the user-facing parts are concerned.

When you had a transaction with »Today« and you edit it a day later, of course »Yesterday« will be selected then. If it is further into the past then »Other«.
The selected toggle should have the date (e.g. October 29) as the second line of the button, a bit smaller and greyer.

Returning from vacation using Grouptabs with @insaw, we really would have found this feature useful. ;)

Here’s a quick mockup with the rest of the new UI:

• Today and yesterday are the most present toggles
• When switching those, the date on the right will reflect that
• You can put in a custom date by just using the date picker on the right :)

@jancborchardt 🎉 - this has been around for a while... Let's see if it's useful. I know the distribution of the buttons is not nice but i don't see a good way to make sure the date input isn't cut off across platforms.
