Description
I regularly copy events to new ones (using "duplicate"/"p" key) and edit the new event by editing date and time. Therefore, I often need to edit twice the date and the time for both "start" and "end" fields.
A useful feature in the date and time fields would be a keybinding (e.g. "pastedatetime", mapped to "ctrl p") to paste the symmetrical field:
- in the "end date", "p" would paste the "start date" value
- in the "start time", "p" would paste the "end time" value
- and so on.

Research direction
Start by locating the date and time editor code and its existing keybindings, especially the "duplicate"/"p" behavior. Check how start and end field values are exposed to the editor, then define completion as a keybinding such as "pastedatetime" copying the symmetrical date or time value in each field.
