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 ?
