There is a way to access Task Coach items on Android through todo.txt format using the Free/Libre/Open app Simpletask
see here:
http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26480-other-task-coach-requests/suggestions/288896-support-for-accessing-task-coach-items-on-androidWe understand that is not the same as a full Android Task Coach app.
We will need someone to create a GPLv3+ licensed Android app for Task Coach in order to get a full client. Anyone interested in helping with this project should contact us and we’ll be happy to assist them.

Note: this is already pretty easy:
option A (keyboard): press “T” while in any date or time field, automatically jumps to today. Also “N” (for “now”) moves the time also. Then for tomorrow you can just add one day.
option B (mouse): click a date, in the calendar pop-up, press the circle between the two arrows. It moves the calendar to showing today although it doesn’t automatically change the date.
See my comment below for more details also.

I don't feel that the current mechanism is a reasonable response to my request. I asked for an approach to simplify some common actions I take, and you suggested a more complicated approach.
My current approach:
1. Open the date tab with my mouse.
2. Open the calendar widget with my mouse.
3. Click the date of my choice with my mouse. (90+% of the time the date is in the current month.)
4. Click "Close" with my mouse.Your approach option A:
1. Open the date tab with my mouse.
2. Open the calendar widget with my mouse.
3. Switch to using my keyboard.
4. Type "t".
5. Switch to using my mouse.
6. Click "Close" with my mouse.If I want "tomorrow" the "t" doesn't help as I still need to click the next date.
In the (admittedly uncommon) case where I want to switch from a date in a different month to tomorrow your approach is quite awkward. After I type "t" the date widget is still showing the other month so there's no where I can click to get "tomorrow" directly, I need to click in the day field and change that field manually.
(Is the date widget not switching to the current month when "t" is pressed a bug? It doesn't seem right to me.)
Your option B is typically not necessary and therefore not a big improvement over the current situation (but it is a nice trick to know).
Your option B isn't really a "current week" affect during the last week of a month.

This is an important request, and I think it goes hand-in-hand with this:
http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/371680-save-presets-of-defined-filters-and-sortingBut I think instead of viewers controlling time for “due soon” I prefer the idea of a per-task override for due-soon timing. But that’s a separate issue.

No, that sounds fine. I just wanted to be sure that the other request including filtering by categories since categories weren't explicitly mentioned. I've been burnt in the past in software development by me making assumptions or other people making assumptions.

I'd feel more comfortable about jumping to the other suggestion if the other request mentioned categories, but the word "category" doesn't appear on that page.
