3. quickfill extensions to other fields. I remembered! The
quickfill stuff can be made broader to save even more keystrokes.
I still have a house payment and some student loans to pay off,
and the checks I write every month are identical every single
time. I remember that quicken would do seeding of the debit or
credit fields once you hit the tab key to leave the description
field. or it might have updated the debit or credit fields as
needed with the entries from the current quickfill, I am not sure.
the second way saves you a keystroke, as many people could hit
three keys to enter their rent every month. "ev|_il landlord
goob_ _650.00_" and a RET key would take care of it all.
4. quickfill not getting a space in the transfer from field. Back to
my auto categories example.
Auto
Auto: Fuel
Auto: License
Auto: Maintenance
I will put in quotes what I type, _ characters around what is
highlighted and | character for the cursor.
I type "a" and the field reads A|_uto_
I type "CTRL-e", and it reads Auto|
I type ":" and it reads Auto:|_ Fuel_
I expected to see Auto: |_Fuel_ since each of the completions have
a " " in them, and they all can be completed that far. The
savings would also be having to type a space all of the time.
Today I typed in "a" "ctrl-e" ":" " " "m" to get "auto:
maintenance". With this change, I would have been able to type
"a" "ctrl-e" ":" "m" to get "auto: maintainence". In the future
(when we know that "auto" is not a category), we will be able to
just type in "a" "ctrl-e" "m".
