By using
call LedgerToggleTransactionState(line('.'), ' *?')
the state of the transaction will toggle through:
no state -> * -> ? -> no state -> …
beginning at what ever state it currently has.
Adjust to your liking.
Thanks to Chad Voegele for the suggestion.
This allows you to set the effective date in a convenient way.
Maybe I will add date selection using calendar.vim by Yasuhiro
Matsumoto. Until then, you can map this to use today's date:
call LedgerSetDate(line('.'), 'effective')
To try this, map or call the following function:
LedgerSetTransactionState('') – removes state
LedgerSetTransactionState('*') – sets 'checked' state
…
The logic used to distinguish the different parts
of the first line of a transaction is rather basic
but proved to work so far.
Previously, FOO was evaluated to return a scope, and BAR was an
identifier looked up in that scope. However, this prevented scope-local
functions from being called (since that is a CALL, not a plain IDENT).
Now the meaning of the "." operator is that it evaluates the left
operand in a scope type context, pushes that scope as the current object
context, and then evaluates BAR in that context.
Thus the bare word "amount" in an account context calls the same
function that "account.amount" would if evaluated in a posting context.
Now instead of ledger reg expense -p "this month", you can say:
ledger reg expense for this month
And as a shorthand for "for until this month", you can just say "until
this month" or "since this month".
Consider the following transaction:
2010-06-22 Sample
Assets:Brokerage 10 AAPL {$30}
Assets:Brokerage
Previously, this would have been equivalent to:
2010-06-22 Sample
Assets:Brokerage 10 AAPL @ $30
Assets:Brokerage
However, this is not always what the user expects to happen. When @ is
not being used, the transaction should reflect a mere transfer of
commodities. This is now how it works, and thus the above transaction
is now equivalent to the following instead:
2010-06-22 Sample
Assets:Brokerage 10 AAPL {$30}
Assets:Brokerage -10 AAPL {$30}
