[GNC] Make "Cleared" the default transaction status

[Adrien Monteleone]

Not that I'm aware of. And I'd think there is good reason for it as you 
are manually entering the transaction.

If you import the transactions from the bank rather than type them in 
manually, you can do so with the cleared flag set for all of them, but 
that involves a different workflow.

Importing from the bank, and matching existing manual transactions will 
also mark those existing transactions as cleared.

Finally, with your current workflow, you can save a few clicks by 
entering transactions and periodically starting a reconcile, doing a 
quick Select-All in that window and marking them all cleared at once. 
(assuming there are no other transactions that shouldn't be so marked) 
Then cancelling the reconcile procedure. Those transactions should stay 
marked cleared, but you just don't change them yet to 'y'.

Or just keep clicking that single 'n' to change it to a 'c'. You need 
only do this for the relevant bank account split. You don't need to do 
that for each and every split in the transaction. (if you are 
transferring between two bank accounts, that would indeed involve 
clearing more than one split)
