Pending Transactions Need the Option to Enter into Register

Currently, the only option for Pending Transactions is to "Delete" them. I would like the ability to enter the pending transaction into the register.

I currently manually enter the transactions one at a time, but it would be easier if there was an option to "Enter" the transaction into the register.

    Personally, I use the Pending Transactions only as a preview of things to come and do not wish to enter them into the register.
    Like you, I always manually record my transactions into the registers, with correct Payee Name, Category, Amount, Memo, etc.
    When a real ("confirmed") transaction arrives in my downloads, I use it to match to and accept the already existing register transactions.

    Pending transactions, for me, are good as a preview of things to come. Often times, a pending transaction amount changes or totally vanishes before it is turned into a real transaction. That would lead to extra work having to fix my register transactions.
    And the only other use a pending transaction has for me is to show me unexpected, unauthorized purchases or debits … if this were to happen, it would allow me to save time and dispute fraudulent transactions faster than waiting for the confirmed transaction to appear in a download.

    Memorized transactions help me make data entry easy for frequently used events like my Amazon purchases for different categories. Just begin typing a new register transaction, type the first few letters of the payee name (e.g., "ama") and pick a memorized transaction list entry from the selection popup. Finish filling out the transaction line and done.
