RFE: please set a keyboard shortcut to toggle input of split transaction
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:07:12 UTC
When entering a lot of transactions, keyboard shortcuts are a life-saver. One that I feel is sorely is missing is the one for toggling the input of a split transactions. I guess adding a keyboard shortcut should not be too involved, so please. Pretty please!
<jsled> Rolf1: fwiw, if you just add a '_' in the glade definition for the item in the Action menu, then Ctrl-A «whatever» would get it. <jsled> Looks like 'p' is unused. <jsled> Which isn't quite the same as a Ctrl-S global shortcut, but it's trivially easy to change. <jsled> (literally, make the string "Sp_lit Transaction" (or maybe it's "S_plit Transaction"). For completeness, it'd be {Ctrl-A p}, then.
Created attachment 114446 [details] [review] patch to add Ctrl + M as keyboard shortcut for multiline transactions I would have thought that the attached patch would be adding an application wide shortccut to toggle split transactions. Alas, it is not working. In the meantime, I have implemented the litte longer keyboard access via the menu. It was missing for German locale: http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/17315
Wow, this is really old.. Adjusting Hotkeys per user basis The accelerator map can be edited on Windows (where it's somewhere like C:\Users\USERNAME\.gnucash\accelerator-map in the case of Vista) or Mac (where it's ~/Library/Application Settings/Gnucash/acclerator-map), and Linux (it should be in ~/.gnucash/accelerator-map). Here is a sample: (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "<Primary>space") You can of course change it to whatever works in your situation.. I hope this helps! We use WYSIWYG shortcut editing in Gnome, but it doesn't work for every environment, it is somewhat mentioned here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts but not until after 2012..
