The Find and Replace add-on is really useful, but marking many transactions in a list can be tedious. There are buttons for Mark All or Mark None. It would be great to be able to select a number of transactions, for example a sequence in a sorted list, and then click on a Mark Selected button to mark those transactions.

    Hi Chonyid,

    I'm terribly sorry for our delayed response! Somehow your inquiry slipped through the cracks.

    You can highlight multiple transactions by either Shift + clicking (click the first transaction you want to move, then hold shift and select the last one, thereby selecting all the transactions between the two clicked) or Ctrl + clicking (select multiple transactions by holding Ctrl and highlighting or unhighlighting the transactions). The two clicking methods can be combined, by the way, so if you have a very large block to go to a new account with one or a few transactions to stay, you can Shift click the large block to highlight them and then Ctrl click the ones you want to unhighlight.

    I hope that helps! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance!

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks. I knew this. Actually, my request was about marking transactions in
    the ³Find and Replace² extension. I can search for transaction by various
    methods to get a list meeting the search criteria. I can then select a group
    of those transactions by the method you describe, but I have no way to
    ³mark² the selected transactions. There are buttons for marking none or
    marking all, but not for marking selected. Within that extension, ³Replace²
    acts on the marked transactions, not the selected ones. It seems it would be
    an easy thing for the developer to put buttons for ³Mark Selected² and
    ³Unmark Selected² to allow for flexible choices of transactions to act on.

    David

    Hi David,

    Ok, I see what you're referring to. Since the Find and Replace extension is made by a third party, I'd recommend contacting the makers of it here:

    http://mennesoft.com/findandreplace/

    to request this functionality.

    I hope that helps! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance!
