What it does

This extension allows you to:

• Apply bulk edits to multiple Beancount transactions at once
• Save edit operations (a combination of search filters and a diff) as "replays" that can be applied later
• Filter transactions by account, time period, or custom filters
• Suggests filters based on last modified transaction
