Let me know if this is already possible and I’ve missed it.

One way to implement this would be to allow the user to write “Fri@4pm” as the due date, and Asana would automatically implement this as a date and time.

Another way to implement this would be to include a keyboard shortcut for adding a due time.

I’d welcome other ideas for how to implement a due time using keyboard shortcuts.

Great idea @Niel_Bowerman !

I would love to be able to do more with the keyboard in Asana.

@Niel_Bowerman and @Jan-Rienk,

I had the same need and decided to build it a few years ago and have been using it daily instead of Asana’s date dialog almost exclusively. It keeps my fingers on the keyboard and saves a lot of time.

This is accomplished with [Asana2Go](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/asana2go/meaajmlecpkbjcofehfpjngpnpfpjlkd) (Disclaimer: I’m the creator).
