Thanks all for your replies.
So apparently there is room for improvement in different use cases. The
usefullness of quickfill seems to depend on what kind of transactions you have
to deal with most.
Can any of you with good suggestions point me to the corresponding enhancement
requests in bugzilla for this ?
