True. For few entries that is fine. M-n once or multiple times or M-p followed by RET. Imagine 20 entries per day, that is just fine. When you have many entries it is easier to press RET. Imagine 500 entries per day. It's faster. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M. Stallman https://stallmansupport.org/
