Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/282

Currently, clicking over any editable field of a transaction starts editing that field. Clicking the three-dot menu while focus is in a transaction field unselects the field and shows options for the account.

The only way to select a transaction is the (very small) checkbox in the left-hand column, and the only way to select multiple transactions is to select multiple very small checkboxes. Options for a transaction (or transactions) only appear when they're selected.

I'd suggest that:

  • Focus in a transaction field also select that transaction, causing the transaction options to appear in the menu
  • Ctrl-click and Shift-click be supported ways of selecting multiple transactions

Shift+click does work, but there's a bug when doing so with scheduled transactions, which I've reported here: https://github.com/actualbudget/releases/issues/54

Yes, I'm finding this highly annoying. I want the entire transaction to be selected if I click on it. It's fine that it starts editing whatever field you clicked on... Just select the transaction while you're doing it.
