What happened?

[Bug]: When creating a new transaction, after typing in the payment / deposit amount and pressing CTRL+ENTER, the transaction gets added but with zero amount instead of the amount typed in

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Open any account
  2. "Add New"
  3. Fill out everything (including the amount) using the keyboard only, using tab to jump between the fields, and using CTRL+ENTER on the amount field to add the transaction.
  4. The value of the transaction will show as zero after it is added even though a value was typed in

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Operating System

Windows 11

It happens to all fields. Pressing CTRL- enter doesn't save the current entry

I wondered why it had it's own function and didn't call the Add function, then the Close function as if the two buttons were pressed in succession. I looked at the code, but it's above my pay grade.
