This will pop-open the calendar and pressing it again will close it.

You can display the calendar with a combination of three keyboard shortcuts:

Write this AutoHotKey script:

!d:: send #t{tab}{tab}{left}{enter}

Now Alt+D will open the date/clock window.

If you don't know what Autohotkey is, just google it, download it, open a notepad document, insert the script line and save the file. rename it as filename.ahk. The file logo will become a green H. Double-click it. The logo will appear in the right hand task bar icons, and the script should work. To change the hotkey, exchange ! for #, ^, or + for Win, Ctrl, or Shift, respectively (or keep ! for Alt). And change the letter if you want. Or learn about AHK and do anything you like:)
