Verified feature request does not already exist?

I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When clicking the "Add" button currently, a user doesn't expect that a new empty line will be created for them that they need to cancel. My non-technie family members keep pressing Add because they think they haven't processed the line yet, then they have multiple blank lines in their transactions.

Similarly, I believe that the ENTER function should just execute the "Done" command, and CTRL+ENTER should execute the "Add more" command

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Put 3 buttons for each new transactions:

CANCEL - Cancels the current recorded transaction and stops the transaction from being recorded
ADD MORE - Adds the current recorded transaction and adds a new line for another transaction to be added
DONE - Adds the current recorded transaction and does nothing further

Would also be good if the keyboard "ENTER" function maps to the "Done" button, and 'CTRL+ENTER" function maps to the "Add More" button
