In your case this would allow you to memorise the non-split version of your transaction and have that take precedence over anything that appears in your current register.

For instance, we're often using the debit card at the grocery store (probably the most frequent payee), but the amount is always different, so the memorized transaction is a mixed blessing.

I find that the quickfill in gnucash works very well for _most_ situations. There are just a handful of transactions that I'd actually put on a memorized list like that. In Q you can memorize the trn with no amount, fwiw. I've peeked at the code that builds the quickfill list and it looks like it would be fairly straightforward to add it in, but I don't understand the data structures well enough to implement it. maybe when this year-end crap gets out ofthe way, I might try it again.
