I have added the "hledger" label and tagged the 8 hledger-related issues/prs. https://github.com/ledger/ledger-mode/issues?q=label:hledger

Thank you, yes I can't reproduce in emacs 30.0.50 with a recent ledger-mode.

Until now hledger is config file free, which simplifies implementation, learning, troubleshooting, support, etc. I usually define custom hledger commands in ./bashrc (`source bashrc; CMD`) or ./Makefile (`make CMD`). I...
