Probably no better--that's just the way Quicken does it. In fact, I think I like your tab idea better. > Do you really need to see both things at once (a main motivation for a > split-pane)?

Yes, I do: I'm used to entering one scheduled transaction at a time as I enter transactions into my various accounts (particularly my checking account register). But looking at the sx tab and flipping back and forth to the pertinent account tab should work fine. > What's the benefit of splitting up the upcoming transactions across > separate tabs (by account)?

Just to unclutter the sx display--I really used scheduled transactions a lot in Quicken (e.g., quarterly dividends for stocks). Filters would work, and keep each filter result in its own new tab--lazy evaluation results saved for the session. But rather than doing one filter at a time I would just split into accounts from the get go (or maybe a selection on a per account basis, or maybe a user-preference for persistent settings). > One thing that people regularly ask for is – in the editor for a > particular SX – to see the upcoming instances, so that they may quickly > schedule something forthcoming.

Thanks for the helpful words, Josh, and I understand the time thing!
