Directly inputting transactions into the list


Direct Transaction Entry

The second method of entering transactions into the ledger involves editing the transaction list itself directly.

To do this you must first let KMyMoney know that you don't want to use the transaction from by opening the settings dialog and unchecking the Use transaction form option.

This is performed by selecting SettingsConfigure KMyMoney from the menu bar and selecting the Register icon from the list on left. The option to uncheck is labeled Show transaction form. When finished click on OK to be ready to directly enter transactions.

Starting the edit

To enter a transaction into the register you can now either double click on the entry or press Ctrl+Ins when the transaction is highlighted. The Up and Down arrow keys let you navigate through the list. After pressing Enter or double clicking on an entry, the transaction list displays the fields required to enter the transaction and waits for input.

To move through the fields press the Tab key and when done press Enter to save the changes or Esc to cancel.

Which method you use to enter transactions is up to you and is a matter of personal preference.
