--- Comment #7 from Anguo <kde_b...@overshoot.tv> ---
Thank you for your contributions to kmymoney. It's appreciated.

Using Gentoo, I can easily add patches to my build. I remain at your
disposition if you need me to test a patch and provide feedback.

Compared to 5.1.3, the new version's new transaction data entry feels like a
regression. I have not been able to test the Tab reordering, so maybe that
would help.
The combined Account/Transaction widget is confusing and bad UI. It should be
self-explanatory and a new user should be able to figure such things out
without consulting the documentation.

Right now, when I press [Insert] for a new transaction, the first field is the
date, which rarely change (since we tend to enter transaction in chronological
order) => tab to the amount => tab out from the amount and the "Category" field
is highlighted with a large dotted red box, as if I had done something wrong,
before I get a chance to select the Payee and the Category itself. It should
only be highlighted if I FORGET to add a category, when tabbing out of that
field.

I think the first step, the first focused item when creating a new transaction
should be either the Payee or the Category (configurable), offering an
opportunity to select a closely matching past entry, pre-populating the other
fields. I saw some old feature requests to that end. 

If it's all to complicated to change at once, I can at least help drafting a
document to be hosted where you want, ideally some kind of wiki page, where we
can properly describe the roadmap to the "ideal" transaction entry form.

Most of the time spent on kmymoney is entering data, inputing new transactions.
So it's important for the flow to be smooth and self explanatory.
