Data entry: Use [Enter] key to move between fields
The data entry behaviour for a new transaction requires using the [Tab] key to move between fields, and to use the [Enter] key to commit the transaction. I am used to using the [Enter] key to move between fields and when all fields are traversed the last [Enter] key will commit the transaction. This is an optional configuration in Quicken and I find this a lot more efficient, as it does not require the user to switch between using the [Tab] and [Enter] keys during data entry.
As it is, I find myself making lots of mistakes when I hit [Enter] after a field instead of hitting the [Tab] key and thereby commiting the incomplete (and incorrect) transaction prematurely.
I can use the mouse to move between fields too of course. But having to use the mouse is even more inefficient for high data entry needs.
Therefore, a suggestion is to make it available for the user to set a preference to use either the [Tab] key or the [Enter] key to move between data entry fields please.
