when using piwik regularly, one often look into
e.g.

  • every morning to see how yesterday was (last full day), or
  • to see what has happened today until now (sometimes several times a day...)

with current period selector, one has always to choose the date again.

With adding "today" and "yesterday" in the period selector, one simply relogin and see the desired values or if still logged in one only need to refresh the browser...

please see attachment how this could be done without needing to much room

We were also thinking about adding this to the new search bar. Eg today, yesterday, last week, ...

So you would only type f to activate search followed by today or maybe only tod or to (depending on search results) and select the found item in the search. This could be done with this issue as well.

Maybe it would be not even needed anymore in the date selector once it is available in the search? Although I agree it would be not intuitive and one would not know one can do it etc. so might need it in date selector and search.

Edit: Actually the current implementation of the search bar even requires that it is present somewhere in the date selector so we could easily solve both at the same time

"so we could easily solve both at the same time" => :-)

It's automatically switched when the URL says date=today or date=yesterday

  • Since the day of Launch

Be careful with keyboard shortcut because of accessibility, during Piwik 2.x release we did a a11y audit then pushed some pull-request about it.
The big trouble is that each language has a different word for day/month/year so the character wouldn't fit.

I better suggest a personal setting to enable/disable that feature and the ability to bind custom keys on it.
