Re: [GNC] Fastest ways to enter my transactions into GnuCash ?
Yes, that’s what I meant. And I have tried changing the separator, and eventually changed it back but don’t recall why. Regards, Adrien > On Mar 1, 2020 w10d61, at 6:19 AM, Maf.

Adrian meant that sometimes he gets ; by mistake - then the quick selection goes all wrong. there is a preference to set the separator. HTH, Maf.

Using " ; " instead " : " to enter transfer account is not working on GnuCash 3.8, Maybe you are using the older version of GnuCash. That Tips Can Not used anymore.

Re: [GNC] Fastest ways to enter my transactions into GnuCash ?
Indeed. It has been so long since I tried it I never realized it was working. Perhaps I should test a bit before cluttering up the list. Thanks!

Re: [GNC] Fastest ways to enter my transactions into GnuCash ?
I think there is an RFE already filed on this or something very similar. Certainly, I have found the shorthand method to be pretty quick, unless I accidentally hit the wrong key, then it is a mess. (particularly hitting ‘;’ instead of ‘:’ for a separator) It would be nice to have arrow key navigation in addition to cover those cases, and the cases where I don’t exactly recall how I named an account, but I’m looking at the list anyway and a down arrow or two would get me straight there faster than my brain can hit another separator and then a starting letter. In my case, everything would be at the tip of my right pinky finger.

Re: [GNC] Fastest ways to enter my transactions into GnuCash ?
Amen to that! When I use the account picker while entering a transaction, I get all accounts in alphabetical order. It would be MUCH more useful to get a fan-out by account hierarchy. After all, if I know I'm entering an expense, other types of accounts just get in the way. As it is, to use the picker I need to know the beginning of the account name that I want. But if I knew that, I wouldn't need to use the picker -- I could just type the first few characters and use autocomplete. (I think it was a suboptimal design choice to have "only use leaf account names" as a one setting that affects two things: display in a transaction and display in the account picker. I don't have enough screen space to show the entire account hierarchy in a transaction, but I do want it in the account picker. I'm still using 2.6.18, so maybe this has been improved in later versions?) -- Regards, Stan Brown Tompkins County, New York, USA https://BrownMath.com http://OakRoadSystems.com On 2020-02-28 10:10, Kenneth Schneider wrote: > It would be even better if we could navigate the account tree using the > cursor keys, especially the right arrow key to move to the sub accounts. ___ 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.

It depends on if you already have a digital record of the transactions or not. If you do (e.g. a QIF, OFX, ...) then you can import them in, with the caveats that if the bank made a mistake you will never notice it. Otherwise, in my experience the best way to enter transactions is do them as they come in. Entering a few transactions at a time is relatively quick. I tend to do them one account at a time (e.g., put all my Amex transactions together, then all my Visa transactions, etc). There are also many keyboard shortcuts you can use to speed up entry. E.g., if you want to enter Expenses:Auto:Fuel you can literally type: e x : a : f and it will autofill for you. Leverage autofill to help. In general you should never need to use the mouse to enter transactions (once you have the correct account register opened). Hope this helps!
