Doing this removes all ambiguity of date and time formats. The picker components can still be sophisticated enough to allow the user to type directly into the text field, and the text field can be formatted according to the user's localization preferences. Typing directly into the text field will also instantly update the visible component.

GTK4 does not seem to have either component. It does have a Calendar component, which I will want to use in the construction of a date picker.

Requirements

the calendar appears when the user focuses on a date entry field
the date entry field is structured in the ordered specified by the user's localization settings
the user does not type separator components
the calendar automatically updates to show and select whatever the user has typed in
the user can click on the calendar to change the month or year. This is instantly reflected in the text field
the user can click no a day on the calendar to select the day. This is instantly reflected in the text field
