Periodic transactions were always on, which meant that periodic
transactions occurring today were always shown, in future or present
mode.
Now, both periodic transactions and display of future transactions are
controlled by --forecast, and toggleable by the F key ("forecast
mode"). The --future flag has been dropped (it still works as a hidden
alias for --forecast, but is deprecated).
It seemed to also make sense to leave auto postings off by default,
like hledger.
You may have transactions dated later than today, perhaps piped from
print --forecast or recorded in the journal, which you don't want to
see except when forecasting.
By default, we now hide future transactions, showing "today's balance".
This can be toggled with the F key, which is easier than setting a
date query. --present and --future flags have been added to set the
initial mode.
(Experimental. Interactions with date queries have not been explored.)
In the accounts and register screens:, you can now scroll down further
so that the last item need not always be shown at the bottom of the screen.
Also we now try to center the selected item in the following situations:
- after moving to the end with Page down/End
- after toggling filters (status, real, historical..)
- on pressing the control-l key (should force a screen redraw, also)
- on entering the register screen from the accounts screen (there's a
known problem with this: it doesn't work the first time).
Items near the top of the list can't be centered, as we don't scroll
higher than the top of the list.
See the issue and linked mail list discussion. Ambiguity between the
uncleared state, and the "not cleared" --uncleared flag causes confusion
and friction. At this point it seems best to break with Ledger and
past hledger, pick a new name and drop --uncleared to put an end to it.
accounts and register screens can now switch between "historical"
(default) and "period" modes
title header wording is clearer
quick help footer now indicates historical/period and tree/flat modes,
saving space in the title
help screen is more explanatory
the enter key has been reserved for later and is no longer an alias
for right/l
