Keeping register on original category instead of jumping to new category

Question

:/ The first thing I do after uploading my latest transactions is to correct the categories.  I typically put the transactions in order of category to look for those that are "Uncategorized."  When I change the category and hit return, the register jumps to the new category.  I would like to keep the register on the "Uncategorized" category so I can go down the list changing each one, rather than having to go back and finding "Uncategorized" each time.  Is there a way to set that in preferences?

No, there's no preference for what you're asking for.

But… there's a way to do what you want. If you use the Search box to do a search for "uncategorized", you can change a transaction to a category and the filtered register will stay just as it was; it won't re-load or re-sort.

@1Moose63 you can also achieve what @jacobs suggested by using the "Status" filter at the top of any register and setting it to "Uncategorized":

Achieves the same result as typing "uncategorized" in the search box, but saves you from typing it out. Either way works :)
