[GNC] Possible to Set and Save an Individual Register's Default Style?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I switched to Transaction Journal view as default a decade ago and now I 
only change views to follow a discussion on the topic here on the list!

I even forget to do so sometimes trying to figure out what a new user is 
seeing when they can't figure out what GnuCash is up to or how to do 
something with a more than simple transaction.

I don't consider the view 'messy' or cluttered in any way. I always have 
all the transaction info available without extra clicks. If I have to 
search for a transaction beyond a quick scroll, I use the Find function. 
Scroll searching usually requires having to view the splits anyway to 
verify it is indeed the one you were looking for, so I might as well 
just have them always visible.

I'd say less than 5% of my transactions are simple (only 2 accounts) 
perhaps even less. I'm just guessing.

And for those who really like the Basic style for some reason, but 
occasionally want to see full detail, there is of course "Auto-Split".
