I am gradually working out how (without really being a finger-style player) to play almost dadgaddy tunes using one or two capos.

First you need a scott tuning capo, or a third hand, or a modified capo.

Put it on the second fret fretting the ADG strings. Now you have (if you fret nothing else) DADGAD, but one tone up. Up the neck your chords can be played standard if you want, or you can have the B and the A with a lump of open strings to ring.

But the real virtue is that the one-finger D from DADGAD is now a one-finger E and you have all your other fingers to play tunes with. Just spank the guitar with a plectrum and the fingered tunes ring out among the chords.

Use another capo to move the whole lot up and you can get about as far as the key of G before neck length starts to be a problem. Fsharp is useful, and it has the advantage of 6 sharps which stops those damn squeezy things joining in most of the time.
