I'd rather have Enter commit the current transaction and move to the next
one. Only if the transaction being edited was the last one, it will create a
new one.

I often import transactions from my bank and then edit them (eg to create
splits). So when I press Enter, I declare that I am done with that
transaction and am moving on to the next one. It would be very weird that I
would suddenly jump to the end of the screen.

So I agree with Ulrike ;-) In this proposal shift+enter equal Enter followed
by shift-pagedown right? I.e. we are never creating new empty transactions
in the middle of the ledger.
