great work! thanks a lot for this, more detailed feedback below. > On 04/01/2019 06:25, Stefano Zacchiroli wrote: > > - completion: I'm not sure how that is supposed to work. beancount-tab > > as a function works well for accounts and tags (but not metadata > > key/values, apparently), but if I bind it to TAB I lose indentation, > > whereas in ledger-mode the two seems to work well together.

The only glitch I've noticed is in the interaction between the two. Consider the case of a badly indented line: you hit TAB on it and it gets properly indented, if you hit TAB *again*, it will most often triggers account completion (e.g., when you're on a account line), generally overwriting the previous account name, which is generally not what you want. I've compared with the ledger-mode UX, and I think the key difference is that in ledger-mode account completion is triggered only when the cursor is at the end of the account name, not when it is anywhere else on an account line. I haven't checked how that is actually detected in the implementation though. I think it would make sense to do the same in beancount-mode. > > - highlighting: there's no highlighting of the current entry (usually a > > transaction), arguably a very minor point, but annoying when you're > > editing transactions with many postings/tags/metadata > > This was easy to implement.
