When I use Org mode to record a TODO, the date is more often than not,

it be presented as an editable field in the minibuffer? That way, I
save a few keystrokes. The same for the C-c C-d deadline option.
I doubt that an editable field will save you keystrokes. You need to
look, and
to move the cursor etc. The Org-mode function that is reading your
input is quite smart, so you rarely need specify a full date. For a
full
description read the documentation of the `org-read-date' function.
The following is cut and paste from there:
The prompt will suggest to enter an ISO date, but you can also enter
anything
which will at least partially be understood by `parse-time-string'.
Unrecognized parts of the date will default to the current day, month,
year,
hour and minute. For example,
3-2-5 --> 2003-02-05
feb 15 --> currentyear-02-15
sep 12 9 --> 2009-09-12
12:45 --> today 12:45
22 sept 0:34 --> currentyear-09-22 0:34
12 --> currentyear-currentmonth-12
Fri --> nearest Friday (today or later)
+4 --> four days from today (only if +N is the only thing
given)
I use C-tab to cycle through the buffers. While in org mode, after
using C-c a a and having a quick look at the days agenda, I rarely go
back to it, except to close the items. But I do spend a lot of time
cycling through 4/5 buffers and when I hit the org buffers, the
cycling stops as c-tab is mapped differently in org-mode.
What I'd like, is a configuration to close-all-agenda-files/buffers,
so that one can go back to the default action of c-tab of mine. In
org-mode I do like the s-tab/c-tab behaviour, except that when cycling
through buffers, it gets in the way; so I think there should be a way
to close/kill all org buffers once you're out of org buffers.
I usually have 6 org files that I put my different action items in.
If you exit the agenda with "x" instead of "q", all buffers that were
loaded
by the agenda-constructing command will be killed (when the buffer was
modified
you will be asked if you want to save it). This might already be
enough for you?
