[1.2.3] UI Mac App should use Mac OS Standards

Budget Flow💡 Feature Requests

The port from iPad OS to Mac OS is useable (and I like it), but it is not like other Mac OS apps and doesn't behave like an native Mac OS app.

  1. "Einstellungen" should be placed in the main menu and I should be callable with the usual key combination "command ,"

  2. the menu "Ablage" has entries with no function like "Duplizieren" or "Bewegen"

  3. in the menu "Ablage" there is an entry "schliessen", which closes the app. Usually you just have "Beenden" in the main menu

  4. if you create a new expense or income, you can't do that without using the mouse. You enter the value by keyboard, but you can't close this popup without the mouse (by Enter or Tab). And every thing else must by entered by mouse and not by Keyboard, which would be my favorite

  5. You can't close dialogues by ESC to Cancel or Enter to save

On a laptop or computer a UI should be useable without the need of a mouse.

    In the new update (1.2.3) I fixed the mentioned issues:

    - It is now possible to open the settings directly from the main menu as well as using the key combination (CMD + ,).

    - When creating a new transaction, the popup window for entering the amount can now be closed by pressing ESC or Enter.

    - Dialogs (e.g. period selection) can now be closed with ESC as well.

    - In addition, it is now possible to save changes in modal dialogs with the key combination CMD+S (e.g. new accounts, budgets or transactions).

    - The menu bar has also been completely redesigned, removing unused items and adding new ones (e.g. separate areas for accounts, budgets and transactions, which will be extended in future updates).

    I hope you like the changes. If you have any further ideas, feel free to create a new feature request :)
