Editing Environment

The jGnash editing environment is not much different then in other application with the exception that it provides a few shortcuts to speed up entry of transactions.

jGnash knows and understands just about any known locale and country setting. Depending on your settings, the decimal symbol will change accordingly as well as the displayed format of dates.

Date Fields

The date field is freely editable and jGnash will make the best attempt at interpreting an invalid entry, but the results are indeterminate. Clicking on the button to the right of the field will display a calendar dialog where you can select a date as well.

Also, dates can be modified using the keyboard shortcuts defined in the appendix.

Number Fields

Numerical entry in jGnash is as easy as typing the desired value into the field. Decimal separators are handled according to the configured locale.

You may also enter arithmetic operators and calculate values within the entry field.

The arithmetic operators that may be used are () + − ∗ /.

Traditional arithmetic operator precedence is followed for all calculations.
