Improve the documentation on setting up hotkeys (or make it more intuitive)
Currently I can (apparently) set up hotkeys. The process is not intuitive at all and requires significant background knowledge.
SUGGEST: Add examples which show names of common keys
SUGGEST: Make the whole process more intuitive by allowing hotkeys to be configured in the preferences

use ctrl-pgup and ctrl-pgdn for next/prev tab rather than requiring the ctrl-alt
It's more standard and easier/faster to not require the alt key in addition to the ctrl key

Allow scrolling of tabs
Currently if I click on the horizontal arrows on the tab row it selects the next/previous tab. That means if I am on one end and want to go to the other end I have to cycle through all of them.
Better to have one or more of these options:
* Allow tab row to be extended to multiple rows so that multiple rows of tabs can be seen at one time (you often see this on preference dialogs)
* Resize the tabs if the number of tabs doesn't fit so that it does fit, even if I can't see…1 vote -
Set the default frequency of scheduled transactions to monthly
99% of my scheduled transactions are on a monthly basis and almost never do I use a daily scheduled transaction.
It makes sense (if others' usage is similar to mine) to either set the default frequency for these scheduled transactions to "Monthly" or (if my usage is not similar) to either (a) have a preference to set or (b) keep track of whatever was used last and make that the default for the next one.

Make the need for ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY env var (or preference) clear while setting up
I was setting up multi-currency and just quickly followed the instructions that came up. It failed. Turned out I needed an Alpha Vantage API Key in order for it to work. I didn't find this out until I went deep into the trouble-shooting docs even though this is apparently a basic requirement.
If this is a requirement, when someone is setting up multi-currency include that as a step and ask them to enter it at that time.
WHERE I LOOKED IN DOCS: Section 9.6.3 where it says this:

How To: Remove Entries from Recent File History List
After searching forever and finding no answers, but seeing other people also ask ... the question remains, how to remove the history of opened accounts, say for example you have several test accounts in various locations or named the same ... example: business.gncash, but 3 versions... obviously it's very helpful to remove what is not currently used or named unique.
Most people use Windows right ?
Open regedit (type regedit in the run box, press ok)
Open HKEYCURRENTUSER
Expand Software then GSettings then org then gnucash
Click on the History folder to see a list of names and…1 vote -

How to sync the desktop to the app: import structure and also the transactions.
First go to desktop and do save as and save as an xml file ex: Business.xml

Add buttons to navigate between online price retrieval and security editor
Adding securitites and setting up online price retrieval can involve a lot of clicking to switch between the retrieval tool and the security editor. Please add a button "Retrieve prices now" to the window allowing to edit/create securities. And add a button in the retrieval tool "Edit Security" for existing ones when selecting the security.

Ignore dummy split in memorized transaction for proper calculation of exchange rate and Trading Accounts
At the moment, memorized split transaction works perfectly if it involves a pair of regular accounts (and a pair of trading accounts).
However, in the case of stock dividend entry, another dummy split will be needed to indicate the relevant stock for proper reporting in Advanced Portfolio. For example:
Asset\Citibank\USD 100.00
Trading\Currency\EUR 92.00
Asset\Stock\ABC
Income\Dividend 92.00
Trading\Currency\USD 100.00Due to this extra split, the exchange rate windows won't popup to calculate the equivalent amount for the other account as well as the trading accounts.
It would be nice if some extra logic could be added in processing the memorized transaction…

Change default invoice report to a user-created custom one
When creating/editing/viewing an invoice, one can easily click the "printer button" so a report about the invoice is generated, in a format that can be sent to customers.
However, the default report isn't exactly beautiful and readable, so I created a custom report and saved the template. This way, I can send better invoices to my customers. Unfortunately, I have to open my custom report, search for the invoice and, finally, generate the result I want.
That got me thinking: it would be so more practical if I could choose the default template or custom report to be used by…

Add an ability to set the fraction traded to smaller than 1/1000000000
There are plenty of crypto currencies where the smallest denomination is less than the current limit. (E.g. ETH on Ethereum blockchain has 1e-18 and so do many tokens there).

Move blank transaction to the top of register
We have options to view transactions from newest to oldest by date for easier to check our transactions.
But, I need to move to the bottom for every time i want to put my new transactions into the register. It's look like not good practice.
Please, Add the option that make "Blank Transaction" Move to the Top of Register.1 vote -
Pre-fill descriptions in post invoice dialog box
When posting an invoice the user is prompted to enter the post date, due date, transaction number and description/memo.
This idea is to pre-populate the description with data already entered in the invoice details. Users would be able to select invoice data, vendor name/number, invoice number, due dates, job name, customer name/number, customer charge back, billing ID etc etc
This pre-populating will reduce data entry when posting the invoice to the general ledger

Scheduled Transactions "except on weekends" should have an option for holidays
Different countries have different holidays, but the holidays could be entered on the initial setup by the user. The program could reference the list so it doesn't have to be hard coded for each country.

Cash Flow Statement based on GAAP (USA) and/or IFRS (international) standards
I was trying to find if someone has requested Cash Flow Statement based on GAAP (USA) and/or IFRS (international) standards to be implemented in GnuCash, but only found such requests from the GnuCash users mailing list, not from the feature request database. On the mailing list, unfortunately, the responses revealed that the GnuCash team is not familiar with the concept, although it has long history and is a well established accounting discipline.
So I decided to make an attempt to describe the idea instead of just referring to external resources (but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_flow_statement really is a good source to begin with).

Save report configurations, the style sheets, and general options relating to that db in the db. (Acc period, business name)
Some users want to have multiple gnucash databases and that they be portable. This means that certain options should be saved in or with the .gnucash file.
eg.
1. Accounting period.
2. Currency
3. Saved report configs
4. Style sheets.I would like to completely separate my gnucash databases
But at present gnucash is almost unusable because of the disparity in what is saved to where. It doesnt allow for multiple gnucash files for different organisations.Especially if I am setting it up to be used by someone else eventually.
I set up a report for my club ( images…
