This Python package extends hledger the plaintextaccounting tool with some utilities.

✨ Features Added to hledger

hledger edit ...: 📝 Editing hledger Transactions in your $EDITOR

# Opens your EDITOR (or VISUAL) with only transactions in € that have a Berlin tag
# You can modify them as usual, if you save and quit the editor, the changes will be
# applied to the appropriate files
hledger edit cur:€ tag:location=Berlin

# Opens your EDITOR with all transactions
hledger edit

# If you don't have LEDGER_FILE set, you need to specify a journal file as usual:
hledger edit -f journal.hledger

This should work with pretty much any hledger query, just substitute hledger balance or hledger register etc. with 'hledger edit'. This is a neat way of quickly editing transactions you were just inspecting.
