Select multiple transactions, show sum of values in realtime, and allow bulk-editing (e.g. add tags/metadata) #2147
Description
This is an idea which I think would help quite a bit when trying to balance e.g. credit card accounts and other accounts which should always be at zero at e.g. end of month - but sometimes aren't because you are missing some invoice or entry. In this case it would help if one could select several transactions in the account view, and the sum of those would be displayed in realtime e.g. in the left sidebar in a small box. Something like this:
Toggling selected transactions could be done by clicking on the transaction narration (not used so far?) or CTRL+clicking to avoid accidental selection, or by adding a hover-only checkbox at the left side of each transaction.
Even better, if one could then add tags or metadata notes to all selected transactions to be able to filter them in the view, as can also be seen in the mockup image.
I'd be happy to try to implement this and submit a PR if given some starting points.
I know a fair bit of Python, HTML and JS but not (yet) Svelte.
What do you think?
