Quicker ways to add reminders

[MissArdbeg 136]

I am using the reminders function extensively. Almost every note I create via iPhone and Mac Desktop application has a reminder attached to it. Creating new notes with a reminder works seemlessly on iOS. However, I would love to have a quicker way (shortcuts) to add reminders in the Mac desktop app. This applies to the following use cases:

* Have a keyboard shortcut to automatically create new note with a reminder (smilarly to the "regular" Add Note shortcut.

* Have a keyboard shortcut to add a reminder to an existing note

* Have the possibility to add reminders in order to be add reminders via Alexa/IFTTT (I assume that this is currently not possible via API)

This would be great for Windows as well.  In the meantime you can create reminder add/change/delete shortcuts using a text expander like PhraseExpress or Auto Hot Key.  This is what I did  to streamline the reminder management process.  FWIW.

In the superior Windows snippet view, if you have a context where reminders exist and the reminders list is open (like my Todo notebook), you can create a new reminder note by typing into the empty slot at the top of the reminders list and pressing Enter. 

But a New Reminder Note operation should probably be added; i.e. a new File / New Reminder Note item, and New Reminder toolbar button at a minimum, plus a keyboard shortcut.

@DTLow2 will probably chime in with an AppleScript solution for Mac users...

It's all about the manipulation of the reminder dates, independent of the merits of the view.

Gah, you're no fun...

Chime  ?

On my Mac, I'm using keyboard shortcuts to scripts for adding reminder dates to notes.  I can't replicate the same UI; just typing yyyy/mm/dd into a box

The command is simple
     set theDate to (text returned of (display dialog "Reminder Date" ))
     tell application "Evernote" to  set reminder time of theNote to date theDate
