The docs described the mouse and minus sign? Can you give me a
link. There must be a bunch of neat tips there!
:-)
there are neat tricks documented all over the place.
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-edit.html
OK, that link doesn't explicitly say "click in the number cell and press the
- key" but one has to assume a certain level of computer savvy from a user
who has written a bespoke database system and is thinking of using a
spreadsheet rather than GC.
So GC permits you to click in a cell to edit it. just like pretty much any
other box-based data entry program.
You've been told that you recorded a transfer of $15 between 2 accounts when
it should have been a transfer the opposite way (ie -15)
If you are in basic ledger view, as Adrian had earlier suggested you try, what
is such a radical trick about clicking in the number field and pressing - to
swap the direction of the money flow? ( Granted, If you are still in GL view,
you have to "click & press" twice (once for each split) - though when every
purchase transaction is to the same expense account, GL or even auto-split
view seems overkill anyway, IMHO).
I think this level of editing a transaction is covered in the docs, assuming
you've entered a few transactions and somewhat got the hang of clicking around
in a new program's interface first.

Hi Maf,
Cool. Thank you!
I am finding that I like the View --> AutoSplit Ledger the best.
Just out of curiosity, did your have Bookkeeping / accounting
experience before starting with GnuCash?
