I am looking for a platform independent accounting application, built around open source components. The linux based accounting App was not only NOT OS but also tied to a particular platform. No can do. theoretically i should be able to run it on Windows, FreeBSD, Xandros, RH9, FC3 (both client and server)
So... Maybe a webbased accounting app with a mysql/postgreSQL backend seems to be the only solution for now. and it should be openSource ofcourse. It's a bummer that a web based app would mean doing away with the function keys. (true? false?).
I haven't seen a web based application capable of handling function keys. You would need the browser to pass those keys to the application.
Not necessarily. I'm not sure if Javascript can use function keys, but if it can, then "false".
Why the tie with function keys anyway?
Because keyboard shortcuts make life MUCH simpler. The same reason why the command line is much faster at manipulating text.
