Aha! I found one!!!
Okay, since quickfilling *did* work properly, and so did highlighting,
I suppose I _could_ be crying wolf here, but honest, I'm not!
3 problems with auto-fill in the xfer from field.
I have a number of categories, quite a few, to be exact. Just like
teri posted, the Auto category gets kind of lengthy.
Mine is as follows:
Expenses (of type Expense)
Auto (of type Expense)
Fuel (of type Expense)
Insurance (of type Expense)
License (of type Expense)
Maintenance (of type Expense)
1. when I go to the xfer from field, and type in a , the field reads
A|_uto: Maintenance_ , where | is the cursor, and _ denotes
highlighting.
This is the opposite of what I would expect, since I would have
expected the field to read A|_uto: Fuel_ .
I suspect that this is a result of the quickfill code in the
Description field working backwards in the previous description
fields to find the most recent Description which matches, where the
"xfer from" quickfill would need to search forward.
2. Also, I would like to rebind the <TAB> key in the case where there
is a partial match on quickfill. Bear with me here, this is quite
cool.
I am going to denote typed input with quotation marks. No where do
I type quotation marks in my fields.
I need to enter Auto: License. I have to type in "auto: l<TAB>" to
get it working. Also, "auto: L<ctrl-e><TAB>" works fine. I would
like to shorten this to only have to type "a<TAB>l<TAB>" to get it
right. Of course, if I had a field called "Accountant grooming",
then I would have to type in "au<TAB>l<TAB>" to end up in the
description field.
Isn't that cool!
3. Lastly, when typing in the xfer from field, it is extremely helpful
to know what you are quickfilling. With the current setup, with
reverse quickfill, typing "a" _really_ gets me "A|_uto: Maint_<down
arrow for dropping the drop down>" which gets really hairy when
trying to account for the categories
personal care: barber
personal care: other
personal care: shampoo, soap
When the drop down list box is dropped down, it works quite well,
highlighting the current one you are on, even though you can't read
it in the "xfer from" field. I would like to see that drop down
list box drop down as soon as you type in an item, highlighting as
you go. this has the added bonus of allowing you to use the arrow
keys to choose the one you want, kinda. try it to see what the
kinda means. ;-)
