When a record is selected the Amount field should be selected (ie highlighted) so that the user can accept or change without having to select first. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Autofill a transaction 2. The Amount is entered and the Amount field is active but the amount field is not selected 3. Select (ie highlight) the amount field 4. Enter new amount Actual Results: The amount field is active but not selected Expected Results: Select (ie highlight) the amount field While transactions often reoccur the amount frequently differs. This would allow more efficient data entry.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Autofill a transaction You are refering to enter a payee in the "from" field, for which a transaction has already been entered ? 2. The Amount is entered and the Amount field is active but the amount field is not selected If yes, I cannot reproduce the mentioned issue with 4.8.1. After choosing the related transaction and pressing tab several times to get to the amount field, the amount value is completly highlighted.
In retrospect I didn't describe this very well and it is too long ago to recall details of a feature that was not workable for me so I processed data entry out of the program. Let me explain it like this: Efficient keyboard entry (without mouse) is critical. I have used Quickbooks so I'll demonstrate with an example using direct entry into the ledger using this image: https://7mile.work/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/credit-card-register22.png. Keystrokes are also very similar on the deposit/ withdrawal/ cheque/ invoice/ transfer form. After a transaction is accepted new transaction form lines are generated with the current date the user is up to. The cursor is on Payee and user enters as much as is required to select the payee from a list. If enter is pressed the the record is accepted, alternatively the user can change the amount and press enter or tab around the other fields, including the splits and tax, and press enter or escape to finish the record. There are other keyboard shortcuts on the form too. The process is the same for auto-fill except the Payee is already entered and the amount is selected so it can be changed, accepted or other details changed. (eg enter to except transaction at current date user is up to or a few keystrokes to change amount then enter to accept transaction.) I realised the KMM fields are entered in a different order but the (old?) Quickbooks interface works with fields most likely to change being entered increasing the likelihood that other field data can be accepted first. I'd be more than happy to collaborate on improving the data entry but I'd need a template to code it.
