This is good advice, especially for anyone using the CVS tree.
GnuCash (the lesstif side) is usable these days, but it is also
potentially dangerous.

This is one of my outstanding gripes as well, though I haven't figured
out if the problem is at the GUI level or at the GUI abstraction
level. Hopefully the latter. It's hard to get excited about working
on the Lesstif side...

Nice summary of some of the other more important completion problems.
Actually I'd like to see more shell-like (emacs-like) "tab
completion", but that's going to take some work to implement, and then
you have to decide how to bind the keys (i.e. tab can't both be the
next-field and the completion key).

Yes. It should be restructured so that it only updates the register
whenever you leave the field or when you hit return/enter.

This is something I've been thinking about working on when I have the
time. Actually, I'd like to write it in guile and bind it to a menu.
It'd be a good example to show people how to write this kind of thing.
