ledger-reconcile contains these lines:
(if (> (ledger-reconcile-refresh) 0)
(ledger-reconcile-change-target))
ie, if you are asking to reconcile an account with no uncleared
transactions, it doesn't prompt you for a target amount (and just uses
whatever target is left over from the last time you reconciled).
Is this actually useful to anyone? I personally find it pretty frustrating
that when reconciling a bunch of accounts, I have to take two extra steps
for accounts with no uncleared transactions: run ledger-reconcile-refresh,
hit t to set the target, hit b to show the balance. (In fact I only just
today taught myself that those commands worked; for literally years I've
been adding a dummy txn to my file and then deleting it after running
ledger-reconcile.)
In addition, I don't understand why you'd ever *not* want to immediately
call ledger-display-balance after manually running
ledger-reconcile-change-target with 't'.
I'm happy to send in a PR to change the UX to what I'd enjoy (run
ledger-reconcile-change-target unconditionally, make
ledger-reconcile-change-target call ledger-display-balance) but before I do
that I'm curious if anyone knows why the current behavior does this so I
know if I should be adding a customization instead of just changing the
behavior.
