Hi,

in hledger chat on matrix, I see several people using ledger-mode with
hledger (https://hledger.org/). I also do. There is a completely
different hledger-mode (https://github.com/narendraj9/hledger-mode) but
some people prefer ledger-mode anyway.

The ledger-mode package doesn't perfectly work with hledger though. For
example, it is not possible to type a payee in `ledger-add-transaction'
because the command calls ledger with some options that are not
available in hledger. Another limitation is that clicking on a
transaction in a report doesn't show the transaction in the journal
file. There are more little problems like this.

I was wondering if a ledger-hledger-mode would be appropriate inside
your repository. It would be a minor mode that configures different
things so ledger-mode works great with hledger. I guess some
refactorings of existing code will be necessary as well to avoid hacking
ugly workarounds in ledger-hledegr-mode.

What do you think?
