wish: remove -|+ of amount widget + empty if focus

[Kreyer Andre]

When entering a transaction date you provide the calendar applet for a quick/easy date selection.

I would like to have a calculator applet available to enter a transaction amount (easily enter an amount and perform standard calculations). Similar to what is possible with Quicken...
Today I need to owerwrite the existing amount and make sure to not erase the decimal point (impossible to enter via the keyboard)...

The existing + and - buttons increment the amount by 1 cent per click, this is not very useful to enter 80.00 for example.

The entering of amount is not that much complex you describe:
- if you use tab from the date, the amount is selected and typing 80 + enter seize what you want with 3 key typing.
- ctrl+a into the amount select all and enable doing the same
- the amount enable to enter . and , as well
- the amount is plugged to a spin, I should probably remove (but some people use it to adjust some cents)

I really don't see what should be more easy that typing numbers into the keyboard or num pad, like you will do for memo or other text fields.

Last, if a calculator is required, you can use an external one, adding one, is not just plug an applet, it requires coding with all the complexity of what a calculator must do.

I keep this wish open for now, we will see if some others second you on this.

Merci Maxime,

J'avais pas tenté le coup du ctrlA! En effet ça facilite l'entrée des
nombres...

Cordialement, André

PS: pour info je suis un utilisateur de Quicken depuis 20 ans (actuellement
j'utilise Quicken 2006, la version la plus récente en français)...
Je suis tombé sur HomeBank en recherchant un outil qui soit disponible sur
Windows (ordi principal à la maison) et sur Ubuntu (ancien portable Windows
converti à Linux, utilisé en vacances).
Depuis j'ai réussi à installer Quicken sur Ubuntu via Wine...
Ça fait 2 mois que je rentre mes transactions en double dans Quicken et
dans HomeBank en attendant de décider lequel je garderai.
Charger 17 ans d'historique Quicken (4 banques, environ 20 comptes chèques,
cash, livrets, titres, ...) dans HomeBank n'a pas été simple mais j'y suis
arrivé....
Il y a des avantages et des inconvénients aux 2 programmes...

Yeah, I think adding a calculator would be redundant considering the amount of programs that already exists with that purpose (a big part of them even included by default in most moderns systems), would be great to keep homebank KISS when possible. However, i agree with Kreyer with the + and - buttons being quite useless!
