I am just starting to experiment with using ledger, and have a question about the entry using emacs. When emacs is in ledger-mode, using C-c C-a is used for adding new entries based on older ones, according to the documentation. When I try this, the only "pre-filled in" part that emacs supplies is the year and month. Is this the expected behavior? I was thinking that emacs may draw more information for me to use as a template for the new entry.
That is the expected behavior. It's awaiting you to type in at least a payee name, in which case it will pull in the details from the last payment to that payee. If you supply more, like the account, the amount, and finally the "draw account", then it will use those details instead of the historical ones for each case.
