Created attachment 184587 [details] Screenshot from previous versions showing quickfilter SUMMARY Kmymoney 5.2 refactored the ledger's look and field and functionality. Overall, the changes are for the better, but the quickfilter from previous versions is missing: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the Ledger view. OBSERVED RESULT The ledger does not have a quickfilter that allows filtering by text, category or status. (see attached screenshot) EXPECTED RESULT I would like the quickfilter to be re-incorporated, as it was essential for batch editing. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1
Try typing Ctl-F.
(In reply to Jack from comment #1) > Try typing Ctl-F. Woah! Now that's a really well hidden feature. I strongly suggest to add this action to the main menu. Maybe under View since the action is called "Show filter widget". Alternatively, it could always be show by default to make it more discoverable for new users (and old users like me who had no idea where it went). By the way, I'd prefer if it moved back above the legders as in 5.1 and as we know it from many other apps. Anyway, thanks for telling us this "secret" keyboard shortcut.
Ctl-F is the Find command in quite a large variety of applications, and I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the Handbook. We can consider adding a Transaction/Find menu item, but this has to be kept distinct from the current Edit/Find Transaction, which brings up the Find Transaction Dialog not related to the Ledger.
Actually, I hadn't meant to close this until I got confirmation that the original poster also found the new "hidden" location of the feature.
I wasn't aware of this CTRL+F. I can see that it partially serves the purpose, but with some caveats: 1. It is not possible to search for categories (I know there's the categories section for that, but sadly, it doesn't allow editing more than one item at once). 2. There's no menu or mention in the GUI for that. I agree that while it is a common shortcut, it is quite hidden and probably not what I'd expect. CTRL+F uses to be the shortcut for Find/Search, and there's a Find/Search for that which is not exactly the same (it opens new window, and does not allow batch editing) and is what I'd expect to trigger (but now, I realised that the shortcut for that is CTRL+SHIFT+F. In other KDE applications (e.g. dolphin) the filter's shortcut tends to be CTRL+I. So, summing up. CTRL+F does the trick for now (I was really missing it!), but I think this is an important feature that should be made more visible, either as a menu item on the Edit menu, and/or as a Funnel Icon in the menu bar.
And I forgot the most important thing: thanks for letting me know about CTRL+F!
It might be simpler if we didn't use the same widget for both searching/finding (within a ledger) and filtering, but I don't think that is going to change. We'll use the bug Ingo opened (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508951) to track changes/additions to the menus.
Created attachment 184610 [details] Filter widget on toolbar option Another option is to add the Show filter widget to the Toolbar if you use one. I actually like this option better than how it was designed previously because I don't always need the filter and it doesn't take up any real estate on the page when I'm not using the filter. I have attached a screen shot of my toolbar and widget selection.
