I can attest to the joy of initiating a search while in the Accounts tab. It's quite fast, and opens up a new tab for results, so the Accounts tab is unaffected. (I used to do searches in General Ledger when I wasn't sure which account held my desired results. But those searches did NOT open a

Maybe I don't know the correct terminology. I envision the currently selected transaction automatically appearing in a data entry window instead of in the register. On Wed, Jul 1, 2020 at 4:09 PM Derek Atkins wrote: > Popups are a very inefficient entry method. > > You already have the Ctrl-T

Popups are a very inefficient entry method. You already have the Ctrl-T (Enter Transfer) popup if you really want to use pop-ups for entry. -derek On Wed, July 1, 2020 5:05 pm, David Carlson wrote: > Back around the time the register2 rewrite was started I believe that I > suggested replacing

While you're at it can you add a search history so when I try to find something under 1 credit card without luck and then go to another register to re-run the exact same search - would be handy :-) Cheers David H. On Thu, 2 Jul 2020 at 06:38, Jean Laroche wrote: > I started looking at that a
