[GNC] 5.1 - New Description Memory Option?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I think it is the same/similar code used for account selection. (and 
that feature *greatly* speeds up entry)

The idea is that you don't *have* to know or recall how something is 
spelled *in order* and thus get all options so you can choose the right one.

While that is intended, and can be helpful, there are certainly times 
where it slows you down. I haven't noticed on the Description line, but 
I know account lookup is limited to 20 results. This can pose a problem 
if the desired account is not shown in those 20 results as you can't 
scroll to it at all. This forces a more complicated 'lookup' entry or 
resorting to the old-school a:b:c shorthand to get what you want. I can 
only imagine that if the Description field has this same limitation, 
that can be another complication.

Regards,
Adrien
