If there was a way to choose which of existing search windows or General Ledger or 'with sub-accounts ' views to jump to, that would be a plus when jumping. I guess those windows would need better names, esp. for searches . I would like a shortcut back to the a SLR results window or another if th

I currently use the jump feature a lot to navigate from the SLR entry list (a search window) to various account registers to verify context around new entries, and individual account registers are crucial to monitoring current balances in asset and liability accounts. However, if the jump feature

This is the only reason I ever use the jump button, so I’d be inclined to agree. I don’t think I’ve ever jumped just to see the other account. Of course, I’m sure others have plenty of use cases. Regards, Adrien > On Jun 28, 2019, at 11:29 AM, John Ralls wrote: > > Perhaps that would be a bet

I would like to throw out a new suggestion to add a permanent menu item to the account register window that would jump to the current transaction in the journal view, where there is no anchor account. This would allow editing without worrying about whether an anchor account split is being edited.

Making sure all registers have you in the next blank transaction before exiting should also do the trick. Or close them all before saving/exiting. Then if you try to close a register that is being edited, you’ll fire the warning right away and know which one it is. (just a workflow ‘workaround’

Interesting it is even there. Since there are no amounts and it looks like a dupe, then —delete it? Do the two referenced accounts also show it in their respective registers? Regards, Adrien > On Jun 7, 2019, at 4:36 AM, jeffrey black wrote: > >> > > Thanks. Found it under View->Filter by.
