Thanks to the forward and back buttons, "Yesterday", "Last week", "Last month", "Last year" could be removed. As a prerequisite for this, a small code adjustment is required so that the buttons can switch cleanly between the months. For more convenience, I would leave "Yesterday" in the list for the time being:
