Small feature request: better tab behavior in Split transactions
Hello, I've been using GnuCash since 2004 and love it. I've talked it up to several different people and they're now happy GnuCash users. It's a great tool that fills a huge gap in the OSS community. All that being said, I'm absolutely pulling my hair out over the behavior of tab (keystroke), return (keystroke), Delete (button on the toolbar), and Cancel (button on the toolbar) when journaling split transactions. I'll do my best to describe my frustrations, and hopefully this will start a discussion that will result in a ticket being that improves the end user experience when journaling split transactions. Here are some scenarios that cause me great heartburn. Maybe there are workarounds that I'm unaware of? Issue #1: The tab key behavior. Steps to reproduce: 1.) Press Split 2.) Create a description for the entire split transaction. Call it My Credit Card. 3.) Press tab once, and you get to the Action column. 4.) Press tab again, and you're at the Memo. Tab again to get to the account. Tab another 2 times and you're at Charge. Enter 500. 5.) Hit tab. You are brought to a new line in the split transaction. That's great! That's what I expect! 6.) Enter a description. Hit tab to get to the Account, and choose an account. Hit tab and enter 25 for the payment. 7.) Hit tab and you're at the Charge column. Hit tab again. THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. Rather than taking you down to a new subtransaction in the existing split transaction it takes you back up to the date column for the entire transaction. This behavior is inconsistent with the behavior seen in step #5. If you press tab on step #5 and you are brought to a new subtransaction line why doesn't that ALWAYS happen? I tried using return at the end of #7 to get to a new subtransaction. That gives me a new subtransaction but the account is set to Imbalance-USD. When I enter a memo that I've already entered before (e.g. Exxon) GnuCash doesn't auto-populate the Account based upon what Account was used the last time I entered that memo (Expenses:Auto:Gas). As a result, the return behavior, while it solves the problem of creating subtransactions, creates a NEW problem of not auto-populating the Account. Note: I've also tried going down to the bottom of the split transaction and hitting Enter. You get a blank subtransaction line, and the auto-populate of the Account works. But hitting Enter at the end of that subtransaction brings you to the line that contains the split transaction itself. The bottom line is that there doesn't appear to be a keyboard only way of journalling a split transaction, and that's a huge pain in the neck when I'm journalling my credit card statement (it has over 200 transactions sometimes). Going from keyboard to mouse and then back to keyboard significantly slows me down. GnuCash 1.x didn't have this behavior. Please help restore the GnuCash 1.x behavior of tabs in split transactions. Issue #2: Cancel button in a split transaction doesn't work. This is a usability and interface improvement issue. Delete, Cancel, and Blank are very similar to non-programmers. I understand the subtleties, as I'm a programmer. But my Dad wouldn't know what Delete means vs Cancel vs Blank. There are lots of times that I'm in a split transaction and I want to remove one of the transactions involved in the Split. Since the Cancel button has a big red X it catches my eye faster than a garbage can. As a result I tend to click the Cancel button when I mean to click the Delete button. Can you maybe disable the Cancel button when you're in a split? Issue #3: Blank doesn't blank a transaction. It takes you to the bottom of the ledger. I understand that this is intuitive to you all, but it's not at all intuitive to an end-user. If I'm in the middle of a 200 transaction split and I hit Blank I'm expecting that it will blank out the current transaction I'm on. I don't expect it to take me to the end of the account ledger. Note that I'm using GnuCash 2.1.1 (from r16107:16109M) built from source under OSX. I love GnuCash, but every time my credit card statement comes in I hate journalling it because of the time it takes. And no, I don't care to set up QIF imports of my statements. The last time I did that it didn't work very well at all... Thanks for your time, and I look forward to your responses to my above issues. -c ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

Christopher Blunck [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: seen in step #5. If you press tab on step #5 and you are brought to a new subtransaction line why doesn't that ALWAYS happen? Because there's a bug in the tab handling. I believe it's already been filed, but I don't have time at present to find it at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash. The bottom line is that there doesn't appear to be a keyboard only way of journalling a split transaction, and that's a huge pain in the neck when I'm journalling my credit card statement (it has over 200 transactions sometimes). Going from keyboard to mouse and then back to keyboard significantly slows me down. I regularly only use the keyboard. With auto-split mode and a bit of extra tab-/arrow-ing after it resets back up to the description, I get by. It is annoying that the focus resets to the description, however. GnuCash 1.x didn't have this behavior. Please help restore the GnuCash 1.x behavior of tabs in split transactions. What you're seeing isn't an intentional change in behavior so much as a side effect of a change in an overly-complex piece of GnuCash (the register). I'm not saying the bug shouldn't get fixed or the behavior shouldn't change, of course. But if you're conceiving of it as an intentional change we can revert, you're wrong. Issue #2: Cancel button in a split transaction doesn't work. The Cancel button in a transaction works exactly as it should: it cancels editing the Transaction. (A bit of clarification: a Transaction contains Splits (lines). All Transactions are split transactions, even if we only show one of the Splits (i.e., in Basic register mode)). Issue #3: Blank doesn't blank a transaction. It takes you to the bottom of the ledger. I understand that this is intuitive to you Given that we have the following concepts: - Cancel Transaction (being edited) - Enter Transaction (being edited) - Delete Transaction - Delete Split (in Transaction) - Remove (all) Transaction Splits - Blank (goto the Blank Transaction) What other names would you suggest? Blank could be safely renamed New Transaction, I think. I think the icon is appropriate, but I'd agree the name there is not as unambiguous as it could be. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpKroHsEgFru.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

Unregister option dialogs from gui component list while destroying.
FYI, this fixes a crasher introduced by r15976. r15976 was backported
to to the 2.0 branch, in case we were to ever release a 2.0.6.
However, this commit wasn't marked for backport. So, we should either
backport this, or just decide not to do anymore releases from the 2.0
branch.
