Bug Description

When you click on the new transaction button the top control Expense/Income/Transfer is selected. Then you need to click on amount, select or delete the "0.00" which is the default value and enter the value that you want. It would be much better if the "0.00" was autoselected when you enter the window. That was you could just enter the value directly without needing to select or delete anything.
It's not a major feature but it saves a couple of clicks and is easy to implement.

Thank you

okay, several points here:

1) widget have shortcut, Alt+n just do what you want = direct select amount 0.00 ready to input something else.

2) tab is also a way with more tab press, to do this

3) your scenario is okay for you usage and preference, it may disturb others, as we will force to input amount first for everyone

what may be interesting to everyone, if possible, is maybe the following:
when you click on the amount widget AND the amount is 0.00
=> empty the text
