That might be what I was thinking of. It is about the triggering of the message, but not the vagueness of the message itself. I should think those two are separate issues. Regards, Adrien On 12/9/20 3:35 PM, Tommy Trussell wrote: Bug 686051 ? https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686051

By the way, thanks to David H for triggering my discovery of the shortcut that eliminates one mouse action out of my work load. I think this discussion has brought up several interesting comments. Yes, I already do leave the previous tab open, and, in fact, the previous tab is often the Since L

There is no direct shortcut to jump to another account in the transaction if the focus is presently on the date, number, description or notes. Actually, I would also like to be able to jump to the last account that I came from in my window history without needing to return to another transaction t

When I posed the Jump enhancement question, I did not mention my own usage or how it might be affected. I find that even though I keep most of my register views in the Auto-split Ledger or Transaction Journal modes I frequently find my focus in the Date, Number, Description or Notes fields of tran

If someone is taking a poll, I don't think it is worth the effort either. But then I mostly use either the split view or auto-split view. Will On 2020 Dec 8, at 12-08 11:39:36, Derek Atkins wrote: Just a devil's advocate question, but how is hitting the Jump button to get a popup to see the sp

Hi David, I would find that helpful as it would allow the quick jump for a split transaction when looking at the basic ledger. Also a way to see which accounts are involved in a split transaction without having to click split. I often want a quick look at info from the auto-split ledger witho
