ok I see where the confusion is here , technically , things doesn't mark an item " due today " with it's shortcut [command T] it assigns it a today notifier [yellow star ] which makes it appear in the today list , but the today list isn't necessarily items due today . You can mark an item " today " that has no due date , or an item that isn't due for 3 months .

if you have an item with no due , yes command T makes it appear in the list "today " but it doesn't mark it " due today " it doesn't change or add a due date at all .

Actually " flags " in OF accomplishes the same thing , you just have to build the perspective to show me flagged items , but it's the same principle [and the shortcut to mark an item as flagged is shift+command+L .

the only difference is , you have to select all your due today items that aren't already flagged and apply the flag [one time will get them all ] if you want to see a "today" view like things .
