Enter in Quick Entry Dialog Subscribe to this topic

I've noticed that the newest quick entry dialog closes on "enter" now, instead of just control+enter, like the last version. I was surprised by the change, since I was using enter to add more than one line item. I figured out that "shift+enter" will work for that purpose.

I'm not complaining, just curious why you went all the way to having enter close the dialog. Was this something that people were requesting? Like I said, just curious...

The main reason for the change is that I had multiple reports of people saying the previous version lost its "quick" factor. The original design for the dialog (way back into beta testing) was a one line quick entry which was submitted upon pressing the enter key. So, the key was switched back to Enter.

Shift+Enter will allow you to enter multiple lines into the dialog. I have this as a section in the never ending help doc draft ;) I'm glad you figured it out though :)

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more issues crop up.

Best,
Jordan
