Tweak Request: Default new task to no date

Hi, just got 1.0.1

Entering a new task with no dates by keyboard takes longer than I'd like. Right now, here's the way to do it:

1) Command-Option-N to start new task.
2) Type task name, tab key.
3) Either tab to accept default calendar, or use arrow keys to select, then tab
4) Tab six times to go through month, day, year, hour, minute, AM/PM fields
5) In "This task doesn't have a due date" field, press space bar to turn on no due date
6) Hit return to create task.

This could be highly improved by switching the default from having dates to not having dates. Consider if the field was "This item has a due date" and was before the actual entering of the date.

Instead of :
Due date: ##/##/## zz:yy AM
[ ] This task doesn't have a due date

You'd have:
[ ] This task has a due date
Due date: ##/##/## zz:yy AM

This would make for the following easier steps:

1) Command-Option-N to start new task.
2) Type task name, if default calendar is fine, return to create task, else tab.
3) Use arrow keys to select calendar, then return to create task.

Simple. If you wanted a due date, tab again, then space activate "This item has a due date" and go through the date entering steps.

For people who want due dates, switching "This task doesn't have a due date" to "This task has a due date." is pretty much the same amount of work, but for people like me who almost always enter tasks without due dates (and use keyboard a lot), my proposed method is a lot faster.

Thanks for your consideration!
