I have the beginning of a solution for type-ahead. It's functional but
it does not implement the whole idea.
Here's what I did:
- Made it possible to type and see the pop up select the *first* account
that match the typed string (in real-time, as you type).
- From then on, if you're happy with the account selected, you do
arrow-up the arrow-down and the account name appears where you typed.
This works quite well for such a simple modification, but it's not great
because the pop up still shows *all* the accounts, not just those that
match the string you inserted. Ideally, the popup should only show the
accounts that match.
Also, it's currently incompatible with the previous type-ahead model so,
you'd have to pick between the old and the new, possibly in the
preferences (not implemented).
But it's a start.

I would like to see account selection by account number capability
expanded to be able to have some visibility when typing. Currently we
need to have a good memory or a cheat sheet by the keyboard.

(and would use it myself if it existed) The current work around is
to include the account number in the account name (though it has
its own field) and even then it requires too many key presses to
use properly.
Yes possibly...
