Thanks, that is interesting.  I migrated from Quicken end of last year and
it is one of the things I got used to with Quicken and can't find an analog
with GnuCash.  Overall GnuCash has been wonderful, and my workflow is more
efficient for my needs.

Steve,

You could use Edit/Find.  Then select Description-Contains-(type in part of
the description, can be just one letter) and if you check Match Case it will
find any descriptions that match.  It will show the same description
multiple times however.  Obviously, if it is a seldom used description it
won't show up that often.

 

Thank You,

Thanks for that.  Is there a way to produce a list of all those descriptions
that I have used before?  Autocomplete is great if I am close to spelling
the description I want.  Otherwise I am just guessing and would like to
reuse a previously used description.

Hi Steve,

 

Your register *is* your list. Auto-complete just matches previous entries as
type.

Hi, is there a way to create a list of all the items I have used in the
Description field?  The autocompletion works if I remember the description
correctly.  Would like to see a list for those rarely used ones.



In the Transfer field there is a pull down list of accounts.  



Thanks,



Steve
