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)

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?
