Toggling the Date with '+' or '-' buttons

In previous versions I could toggle the Register date with the '+' or the '-' buttons, which was very convenient. But this is no longer available. One has to hit the calender icon and select the date. Am I doing something wrong?

Assuming today's date, May 7th, 2020, is displayed in the date field and you are using standard US - style dates ...

• "+" advances the date by 1 day, 5/8/2020
  
• "-" subtracts 1 day from the date, 5/6/2020
  
• "t" inputs Today's date, 5/7/2020
• Typing 0501 gives 5/1/2020 (always type it with leading zeros for month and day)
• Typing 123019 gives 12/30/2019 (no slashes required)
• Typing 12011999 gives 12/01/1999 (again, no slashes required)
• "m" gives the first day of the month
• "h" gives the last day of the month
• "y" gives the 1st of January of the year
• "r" gives the 31st of December of the year
• "w" gives this week's Sunday, 5/3
• "k" gives this week's Saturday, 5/9
• typing the same letter again advances to the next / prior interval, e.g. ww = 4/26/2020

If you have set your Windows short date format (which affects date format in the Quicken register) to something other than MM/DD/YYYY the + and - will no longer work.

I can change the dates in a register by clicking on the "+" or "-" buttons using R29.22.

In order to do that you have to click inside the Date field itself first.
