Just a devil's advocate question, but how is hitting the Jump button to get a popup to see the splits any different than hitting the Split button to get the register to expand the transaction to see the splits?
It's still two mouse-clicks to get to the target account, but without a popup. -derek On Tue, December 8, 2020 12:25 pm, Edith Murphy wrote: > Hi David, > > I would find that helpful as it would allow the quick jump for a split > transaction when looking at the basic ledger.
