Currently I am using nano to make my ledger entries and it takes a very

Is there something we can do to make entries on nano
faster(predictive-text)? I heard emac can take care of this. Can someone
confirm on this and provide a page dedicated to emac and ledger(perhaps
showing tutorials for newbies?)
Hi Kevin,
as others have mentioned, tab-completion is a big help in the emacs
ledger-mode; other editors may have this too. Several editors have
getting-started pages on the ledger wiki. Also it's easier when you get
fast at find-copy-paste-adjust of previous similar entries.
You may also like to try hledger add
(http://hledger.org/step-by-step.html#record-a-transaction-with-hledger-add)
or hledger web (http://demo.hledger.org/journal?add=1) which offer
alternate ways to enter *ledger data.
Finally, if you're mainly entering bank data, you could look into
converting it from CSV instead of typing it.
