transaction status "pending"
- In addition to "n", "c" and "y" in the status indicator, I would like a "p" for pending. I understand I would have to manually mark the "pending" transactions myself. I would like for GnuCash to change "p" transactions to a "c" during a successful import match just like they change "n" transactions to "c" now.
- I would like to have a function that would show me a Bank-Agrees-with-Me-Balance or QuickBalance that calculates a balance by reading transactions beginning on a date I choose or since the last Reconciliation, and goes through the latest transaction. Bank-Agrees-with-Me-Balance would exclude "n" transactions since the bank doesn't know about them yet, and include "p" transactions in the calculation of the amount reported. The balance would display on the status bar temporarily or in a pop-up box with just an OK button. It would be for information purposes only, no updates or status changes. Bank-Agrees-with-Me-Balance would do the calculations for me to let me know, that, today, I have recorded every transaction the bank has received. If not I have more work to do.

What's the difference between your proposed "pending" status and the existing "cleared" status? ISTM that if the bank agrees with you then the transaction has cleared; that's independent of whether you find out from doing an import or looking at the "transactions" page on the bank's website, or some other way.
There's already a cleared balance column available on the Accounts page, so unless there's a real difference between "pending" and "cleared" this is already covered.
