The register layout is currently hard coded, so it's "our way or the highway",
sorry.
Auto fill works by repeating previous entries so once you've created a
transaction for a particular payee in an account you'll get auto-fill for
subsequent entries with the same description. You can fiddle that a bit by
letting autocomplete fill in based on a partial entry, tabbing through to the
debit or credit column and then tabbing back and editing the description to
what you want for the current transaction. For example, I like the description
of dividend reinvestments to include the number of units as a cross-check. I
might have
10/11/2019 Reinvest FMAGX 23.11 Assets:Investments:Fidelity:Magellan
Fund 251.67
and when it's time to do the next dividend I'll start "Reinvest FMAGX" and let
it fill in the 23.11 and tab through so that it fills in the account for me.
I'll edit the new value and then back-tab to the description and change the
number of units. When I hit enter the transfer dialog will pop up where I'll
enter the number of units again. Then when I go to reconcile the FMAGX account
if it doesn't reconcile I can check the amount against what I put in the
description and if there's a discrepancy it's a good clue about why it doesn't
reconcile.
