Perhaps the neatest way to cancel quickfill on a per-transaction basis would be
to have a trailing space cancel it. In other words, if you type space-tab
after entering the description, you then move to the next field with no
quickfill. I can't think of any use for descriptions that actually have a
trailing space.
