Same here. It'll take some time to adopt. But...

I also support this request.

Mapping the D to 'daily view' would not make it the same as in dired.

Of course, if the perception of the Agenda's content and behavior is  
sufficiently different from that of dired, the keybindings do not have  
to be the same. Maybe it's worth looking at how other packages (like  
gnus and friends) are treating their summaries?


Having said all that, I'll take whatever bindings org-mode ships with;  
you can always change them :-)

Cheers,
Peter.
