find nuisance

I just "upgraded" from 2008 to 2011. In 2008, there were two find searches. ctrl-f (which i never used) would, IIRC, set the search field to whatever field was selected. ctrl-i, which corresponded to the search button over the register, would remember what you had set the search field to - in my case almost always payee, for the next search.

In 2011, ctrl-i is gone. ctrl-f always sets the search field to "all fields", and you have to change it every darn time!

Note that the quick search auto fill in as you type doesn't work with "all fields", so you really loose something by not changing it.

Am I missing something?

AFAIK, it has always been just ctrl-f. Ctrl-i for me has always inserted a blank transaction on the same date as the the transaction that your cursor was on just before the ctrl-i.

Now using Q2010.

YMMV

My bad memory. It was alt-i and corresponded to the find menu item at the top of the register. All the menu items are now under accout actions except find - but find is now the brain dead version and alt-i doesn't do anything.

Sorry. What I remember is that before 2010 you put the cursor in one of the fields of a transaction, then hit Ctrl-F (lower case, but for clarity I write it this way). The find window would open with the chosen field as the "search field" and the highlighted field contents as the "find". While the latter is still true, in Q2010 the "search field" now defaults to "all fields" and if you change that, the contents of search disappear. I would like to get the old behavior back.

The Alt keys are a Microsoft shortcut to the menus on top and the submenus thereunder. So Alt-E F F is now the same as Ctrl-F.
