When I use Org mode to record a TODO, the date is more often than not,
some day in the future. C-c C-s defaults to the current date but can
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 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.

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?

That is really neat. This is better than I expected.

Excellent! Many thanks for that.
