I can see the logic in going for a default of false wherever possible, I had that problem with the schema file myself. I did think of reversing the logic but had difficulty coming up with a sensible choice of words in the preferences dialog. I have the text 'Tab skips to value on memorised transaction' which requires a default of true. Can anyone think of appropriate text for a default of false? Tab moves to Transfer field... does not really work for me as that is the normal action one would expect from tab anyway and I am too close to the problem to see an alternative.
