Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Because of https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/6065, I started using Date keyboard shortcut to avoid the extra step caused by the new modal. The keyboard shortcut for Date field is "T", but this also creates a new transaction. The two options should have different keyboard shortcuts.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Select a transaction, press "T", which will show date picker but it will also create a new transaction in the background.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Fly.io

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge

Operating System

Windows 11

Also of note: setting the date via "T" isn't in the keyboard shortcuts list under "Help", creating a new transaction with "T" is in that list.

@matt-fidd Maybe we can make the future transactions modal easy to navigate away from as well

Hey @youngcw, since the T shortcut is already assigned for creating a new transaction, I resolved this by assigning the setting date shortcut to Shift + T and also updated the help doc.

Let me know what is decided here and I can get the doc and modal fixed at the same time. 😀
