  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

After using Actual for a few weeks, I've started to wish that I could hide the Notes column when viewing accounts. It's provided very useful in renaming payees to more friendly names, however I find myself wishing I could hide it, similar to the existing functionality of show/hide the running balance, "cleared" check boxes and reconciled transactions.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I would love to have the capability to hide/unhide the Notes column when viewing Accounts. This would apply to any/all views.

To start I'd like to see how the Notes could be hidden when selecting an individual Account. If this goes well, expand it so the Notes could be hidden/shown when selecting "All accounts" and the For budget and Off budget views.

Teaching and learning

If documentation on this feature is needed, maybe make some mention of it in this article:
