The new beancount-mode is now a major mode rather than a minor mode, so you can't combine it with another major mode (like Org-mode). You can activate `outline-minor-mode` which will provide similar support for hiding/showing the structure based on your `** Foo` headings, but it's only a subset of what Org-mode provides of course.

When I introduced it I intended for it to do more: - do a bit of auto-indentation (that was when beancount-mode didn't have a line-indent-function) - re-align the amount (again, it's now done by electric-indent-mode) - auto-add the next account if it's always been the same so far (never implemented) But, yes, nowadays it's only the currency. I don't have any strong opinion on the name of the config var. > Can you be more specific about how this may not work for more complex > ways of specifying the amount? Not really: I only ever use simple amounts (no @ things and whatnot) so I not only haven't tested with anything more complex but I can't remember what those more complex cases can look like anyway. Oh I can give you one concrete case I bumped into and never fixed: Asset:Account (0.8 * 100) RET will not insert the currency because the code doesn't recognize "(0.8 * 100)" as an amount. >> - Add a M-RET binding that inserts the date part of a new transaction. > I don't enter many transactions manually, but this addition seems > reasonable. Yeah, it's not super useful, admittedly. Stefano's suggestion to use the date of the previous transaction might be a good alternative. I don't have strong feelings about it should do. I find the key-binding intuitive and the idea of the functionality appealing, although the practice of it is rather underwhelming.

Patch for beancount.el
I finally got around to merging the patches I used to use with the old
(minor-mode) version of beancount.el into the new version.
Most of the tweaks I was using aren't needed any more so all that's left
is the patch below:
- Remove the redundant `:group`s (since they default to the last
`defgroup` anyway).
- New var `beancount-electricity` to control behavior of RET.
When non-nil, RET at the end of a leg adds the currency if missing (or
tries to anyway: I think it's done in a too naive way which doesn't
account for the many ways to specify the amount).
- Comment out a `defvar` of `beancount-directive-names` that doesn't do
anything since it's preceded by a `defconst` of the same var.
- Add a M-RET binding that inserts the date part of a new transaction.
- Fix `beancount-collect`: the old code collects all matches and then
its callers removed the entry found at point (because that entry is
the one we're in the process of completing so it's presumably not
(yet) valid) but that misbehaves when the entry at point is actually
already valid, in which case that entry is incorrectly removed from
the possible completions. So instead I changed `beancount-collect` so
it ignores matches around point which usually gives the same result
except when the match around point is *also* found elsewhere (in which
case the new code keeps that completion whereas the old one
incorrectly discarded it).

Beancount would have to honor the #line directives. There can be other surprises with CPP, since it's specifically designed for C/C++ and not for Beancount. We used to use CPP to generate Emacs's Makefile and there were a few oddities we had to work around (can't remember the details, but at least there were a few predefined CPP constants which caused undesired substitutions).

Re: [emacs] using ledger-mode for beancount

You can try and call org-mode's folding command from some other
major mode. I haven't tried it, so I don't know how well that
would work. But that puts you right back to the original problem with
TAB, I think (unless you want to use another key-binding).
I think a lot of people would appreciate if someone were to add
org-style "fold cycling" to outline-(minor-)-mode, so that could be
another approach.

If beancount-mode is made into a major mode, you don't need beancount-tab at all, `completion-at-point` works for it (and setting `tab-always-indent` to `complete` will let the normal indent-for-tab-command do the completion).

Re: is Beancount GPL2 or GPL2+ ?

FWIW, long earlier discussions and analysis of the problem of "GPLv2-only for Linux" concluded that the GPL is one of the very rare licenses which doesn't *automatically/implicitly* say "or further versions". So if you don't have a strong opinion, I suggest you go with "or later", which is the recommended choice for the GPL and the apparently only choice for most other licenses.
