[GNC] Transaction Entry Confirmation
Is there any way to have GNU Cash make an audio confirmation when a manual transaction has been entered? When I manually enter a transaction by mashing ENTER there is no feedback that the transaction was entered and I keep hitting ENTER to be sure I didn't fat finger it. Just a little beep would suffice. -- Old Unix programmers never die, they just mv to /dev/null - Anonymous ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Transaction Entry Confirmation
I don't understand. When I type the Enter key, it moves from one line of a transaction to the next line. After the last line, it enters the transaction and moves to the first line of the next transaction. This is with GnuCash 4.6-1 running on MacOS 11.5.2.

Re: [GNC] Transaction Entry Confirmation
For me in Linux Mint, if I press the enter key on the numeric keypad, it will move to the next line when I hit it twice. The other enter key moves on the first tap.

Re: [GNC] Transaction Entry Confirmation
It's not a big deal I was just looking for one and wasn't able to find an option like that. If you want to know how my brain is working. If I mash ENTER in an open split transaction it moves down to the next split transaction. What does that mean? Does that mean the whole transaction was entered or just the split was entered? I'm never sure so I was looking for an audio confirmation when the entire transaction was committed like in the program I used before switching to GNU Cash. Now to be absolutely sure I close the split and mash ENTER again.

Re: [GNC] Transaction Entry Confirmation
NB: If the cursor is still in the current transaction, then it was not committed. If the cursor moves to a different transaction, it has been committed. In either case, GnuCash will not let you close the register window if you have non-committed changes. -derek PS: If you want the feature, patches are always welcome! :) On Tue, August 31, 2021 4:02 pm, Jack Frillman wrote: > It's not a big deal I was just looking for one and wasn't able to find > an option like that. > > If you want to know how my brain is working. > If I mash ENTER in an open split transaction it moves down to the next > split transaction.

Re: [GNC] Transaction Entry Confirmation
The default behavior of GnuCash is always to "enter" all pending edits when the Enter key is pressed. To make more edits to the same transaction use Tab or Alt-Tab or the mouse to navigate to the next field. Then, after pressing the Enter key, as Derek pointed out, the transaction edit. is completed and the cursor moves to the next transaction. I am not at my computer right now but I think hitting Enter again moves the cursor to the following transaction, which is probably why it never occurred to me to try that. If you really want to leave a transaction with "pending " edits you need to use the mouse to click on some action button to navigate to another register or whatever, but then you risk forgetting that you left that transaction pending, which can bite you the next time you do a file save.

Actually, no one has answered this question, only asked "why?" It depends on your operating system and whether you have any setup available for visually impaired people. I've not tried Gnucash with a screen reader, but if you were using a screen reader you would be expecting auditory feedback. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
