Ability to start typing a date, instead of only using the visual selector.
Especially when I need to choose a date going back some number of months or years, it would be great to be able to start typing the date instead of using only the visual calendar selector.

I might even expand this request to include a number of other user form interface components, in the settings UI and on forms. E.g. some of the settings boxes have a search box to make it easier to find the field you want. Take the “Filter by…” boxes in the Filter Data section of a view. But even there, you first have to click into the search, instead of being able to immediately start typing.
Compare this to the default, built-in behavior of a plain selection box (`<select>`) in most browsers. Like when I’m selecting my state on an address form, I can immediately begin typing the state’s name and it will find it for me.
There’s an opinionated little post about this here: https://drewdevault.com/2021/06/27/You-cant-capture-the-nuance.html.
Perhaps all of the selection boxes in NoteForms could be made to behave like this by default.
