Description
In the admin, when I have a UserField, it would be nice to have a shortcut to "me", kind of like how dates have shortcuts to "now", that would automatically fill in the current user, wich means I don't have to go through the (sometimes) long list of users.

Maybe even make the current user to be the default (using html->input->value)?
Or is there another way of doing this already?

I am -1 on including this by default. This can be easily accomplished through the ModelAdmin class by overriding the formfield_callback method. Anyone else in favor of just closing this?

Closing, basically for the reason mentioned by brosner.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Just a note: This will be accomplished more easily once the newforms-admin branch is done. I still don't know whether we should offer an out-of-the-box "me" shortcut, though.
