Thank you for the link! That is useful to know. In the meantime, I've had a few ideas and have implemented various options and filters that don't exist or are not as elegant in Ledger (i.e. date range syntax). The beauty of having a tool in a language that one is comfortable with. I'm looking to minimize the syntax, so that quick queries for balances or transaction listing for a certain period, currency, payee, account, etc. can be quickly listed. With or without total or running balance. `bal` and `reg` are the most common queries I use. The filters are mostly common for both. With this tool I now feel I have a query tool that provides a quick insight into transactions and balances for everyday use, like when you need to see how much you've spent on auto electricity during the holiday period, checking if a bill to @xyz was paid, when the bills were paid, how much you've spent in certain currency, etc, etc.
