Yes, thank you, that's worth exploring (next time -- both my work-around and the one in your other message nicely resolve my problem today).

The reason I find myself doing this is a long story. It's interesting and instructive but unfortunately not suitable for public posting. Basically, I need to re-reconcile a number of 2025 expense claims between two different sets of books. I'm sending you privately a more explanation to satisfy your curiosity.

PS: I love Gnucash's "reconcile to zero" capability for this kind of thing. Quicken doesn't have it, but in Gnucash I use it all the time.

If you right-click on the 'y' (there is no 'r' case) there is an entry in the context menu to unreconcile a transaction. Since that function exists, it *might* be possible to set a custom key-binder to it, but no guarantees.

I would back up a step though and ask why do you need to un-reconcile so many transactions?

I've never noticed this before, but there's no tab stop for the R column in a register. Tab just jumps over it, going straight from the Transfer column to the first amount column (e.g. Increase). It behaves similarly any ledger mode I try:   Basic, Auto-split, or Journal.

In fact, I can't find any way with the keyboard to get the cursor to the R column at all, or to modify the data there. Only clicking the character in the column with the mouse cursor changes the field, and it only cycles between n and c. According to the manual, R is only possible to achieve using the main reconciliation mechanism.

I need to unreconcile hundreds of transactions in a ledger, for which I wanted to use a quick keyboard macro. But the macro can't get to the right column. Is there an unreconcile hot-key?
